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?

Great, thanks. I love all the customisation features Voyager has!

I still don’t understand all the green shields after every commenter’s name, though.

Thanks!

This is what I’m seeing:

It’s not a username colour – that would be ideal. It’s a green shield badge.

e: you said: ‘In addition, for admins, both local and remote it changes to red with or without a checkmark inside of the shield as a signal on what actions can be performed by admins on a given piece of content’

I have no idea what you mean by this. We were talking about username colours, and that made sense, though I haven’t seen that. Now we’re on checkmarks, which I see, but doesn’t make sense. Does that make sense?

Yep. And this bug exists in both scenarios.

Someone just told me these shields mean I’m a mod and can interact with these posts, but that’s not what it meant to me. To me, it means ‘this user is a mod’, which was super confusing.

I’d instead color the edit menu ellipsis green, not add a shield.

Those tags, like this shield, convey information about the user’s status, not what I can do. The ellipsis tells me what I can do.

Wait, really?

That’s terrible design. I know I’m a mod and can take action. That’s the point of being a mod. Flagging all comments is superfluous and misleading.

I thought something was wrong with my community.

e: Instead of a shield (which to me means ‘fellow mod’) I’d colour the edit ellipsis green or something. This makes me think the commenter is a mod.

It helps to know it’s only on my end, thanks! I was worried anyone could mod my community. Thanks for your input! I’ll put it in as a UI bug. Cheers!

Awesome, thanks for letting me know you don’t see everyone as mods. That helps me.

Yes, that one. Here’s what i see:

I’m using Voyager on iOS.

And I don’t see those flags on posts outside my community, anywhere on Lemmy.

e: if you’re not seeing it, it’s likely a bug in Voyager. Thanks for letting me know! I’ll post in in the Voyager community. <3

Oh, that’s all? Followed.

e: thank you.

I’m confused, then. Do I bridge it from Bluesky?

I clicked your link but it didn’t make sense from my end.

Apparently I need to make a new account; it’s been a loooooong time *warning, Reddit link).

I’ll make a new mastadon account and link it here.

Shit, sign me up. I could definitely use some amusement.

Few things scare you like thinking you’ve lost one of the most expensive and fragile things you use nearly 24/7. And even fewer can make you feel like a complete idiot to realise you’re already holding it. Such a crazy crosswire of feelings.

It’s not. I have a Mastadon account (made it nearly a year before BlueSky). It was work. I have to curate it and the interface is awful. BlueSky was easy.

To be clear, I barely use BlueSky, either. I’m almost exclusively on Lemmy. But these platforms need to get their UX ducks in order, and I say that as someone who has adapted to tech and UX since the late 80s.

I barely have the energy for social media in the first place. Mastadon feels like work.

Oh is that what that noise was? I thought it was from when I nearly strangled myself with my headphone cable in standing, since I’ve apparently forgot how reality works today.

I’ve no idea what’s gone wrong, but someone else suggested weed. I wasn’t on it, but perhaps I should be.

No weed. Just pure unfiltered ignorance.

This sounds like literal wizardry to me. I love it, but I don’t get it.

Oh that’s cool!
