Depends on the instance and the community. I'm sure lemmy.world admins have a quite different workflow than smaller instances.

For programming.dev, most of our work in regards to the community is removing spam/scams/CSAM and the occasional instance rule breaking post. A lot of our communities are also admin moderated due to lack of moderators. In those instance we have a placeholder moderater account and use our admin accounts to moderate.

Speaking purely from a general lemmy standpoint, admins can do everything a moderator can do across every community. We can also view who votes and downvotes.

Unique for admins is that we can ban users from the entire site, not just a community, purge a user from the database (includes every post and comment they've made) and purge posts. We can also choose to speak as a "moderater" which is similar to normal moderaters, only with an admin symbol instead.

If the instance also require applications to be approved, we can see every application and approve/deny them.

We also see every report that involves our instance, be it a report on local community, or a local user reporting something on a federated community.
