Took me a while and an AskLemmy post to figure this out, since I initially thought Lemmy was auto-modding commenters (which kinda made me panic), but this is what I see:
I am the only mod in this community, and others aren’t seeing this flag everywhere, so commenters aren’t actually modded.
Is this a bug with Voyager or with my instance?
That’s cool, and I was amongst the biggest Apollo fangirls on the planet, but just because Apollo jumped off a cliff doesn’t mean you have to.
This particular bit of design is not ideal.
I’ve been designing UIs on iOS, Mac, and Windows for decades, and this is confusing.
e: especially for newish users, who we’re trying to attract to Lemmy, right?
New Lemmy users aren’t mods usually, so they won’t see this UI element. In any case though, I like this UI 😉
With all due respect, newish Lemmy users won’t become mods or create communities with that attitude.
Everyone is new sometime. We need to make it easy. (Don’t let the sound of your own wheels make you crazy.)
