YSK that you can edit titles on Lemmy, unlike Reddit.
YSK that you can edit titles on Lemmy, unlike Reddit.
Why YSK: You might be used to Reddit where you can't edit titles. This is important both for the errant poster, but also for the person coming from ages in the future who might stumble upon it.
You're viewing a single thread.
Are comments marked in some way to show when edited like reddit was?
Are titles?
Like could I write a post/comment "how often do you call your parents" and after everyone comments, once a week, once a day, oh god never, etc,
Edit the post/comment to say "how often do you eat poop"
And then sit back and chuckle softly to myself? Or would it say *(edited)
It should.
Edit: edit check
I'm on lemmy.world and I can see the time and date your comment was posted and same for edited.
Kbin doesn't show it though, so not every software will show the edit tag.
EDIT: Turns out that Kbin doesn't seem to have implemented that yet.
Yeah, I have a kbin account and noticed the same thing. I keep going back and forth between the two. I understand why it's implemented, but I'm not sure I entirely like the idea of having every favorite being visible to the public. At least they're only visible on the specific comment/ post but not visible from the user profile.
seconding this, i am also on lemmy.world and can also see it. although i did have to look around for it a little bit
When a post is edited (title or otherwise), a little pencil icon is shown to tell you it’s edited, just like comments.
Sweet good to know.
Doesn't seem to show that for me on jerboa but ehh
On jerboa it has how long ago it was posted, then how long ago it was edited in the top right of the comment
It would be a nice feature to see the change history so that you can see that it was a typo fix or clarification or complete replacement.
I'm looking at this comment through kbin.social and I am not seeing any indication that you edited it.
Hopefully the developers work on that.
I'm not seeing any indication on kbin
There doesn't seem to be any indication on kbin, for anyone wondering.
Doesn’t seem to show any indication of editing on Mlem yet.
on Lemmy.world if I hover over the little pencil icon I see Created: [date] Modified [date] Non-modified comments in this thread show no pencil. That's pretty slick.
Using Jerboa on Android and I think I see an edit timestamp, but it is rather discreet and not super useful for your edit since it was so close in time. It looks like it lists: timeOfPost (timeOfEdit), so for example:19h (19h).
A more prominent indication of an edit would probably be good to have.
Edit: spelling
