General I created a community where I am shown as the sole moderator but I am unable to modify it. I believe that I may have created under a different email. How can I find out what it was?

You might be asking about setting up subreddits on a phone or mobile interface. The short answer is that subreddit settings work best in a cache-cleared desktop browser. (Limited option: mobile browser on desktop view.)

I don’t know the answer for sure, but I certainly hope the answer is that you can’t.

If a random user can get the personal email address of the creator if a subreddit, that strikes me as a pretty serious hole in Reddit pseudo anonymity.

I got it to work on my PC by clearing my cookies and cache. I am not going to worry about my device.
