Yeah, it can be super confusing at first! Basically, why are authorities different from each user reddit? It all comes down to how subreddits are structured.
The person who creates a sub becomes the top mod and can assign roles to others—like full mods, who can ban, or junior mods with limited powers. Some subs have strict hierarchies, others are more chill.

Also, bigger subs often have more rules and分工 (division of labor), while small ones might just wing it.
