How to transfer community ownership (lemm.ee)

Hi folks,

as my current instance will shut down soon, I need to transfer the ownership of my tiny community to my new account on a different server. I know I can make my new account a moderator. But will the new acc then have 100% of the administration options that my current account has? Or will it only be a second-class role? I'm used to 2000er forum/boards where admin accounts carried way more privileges than mods. Like a mod could also never delete the whole thing.

The community is also hosted on lemm.ee which will shutdown, you'll have to recreate the community on another instance.
I think piefed has a community migration feature but I have no experience with it.
