Is this a Lemmy thing? Something with lemmy.ca? Something about Voyager?

I tried looking it up but found nothing that might explain this. I have a community that’s super niche and I don’t post there much, but I do on occasion. I don’t care that it’s not that active – it’s enough for me.

Over the past couple of days, I’ve had a tiny amount of interaction, and everyone who posts seems to be automatically flagged as a mod. What’s happening?

e: this is what I see:

    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

      That shield symbol just means that YOU are a mod in that community and can take mod actions on those comments.

        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.

          I was initially confused by it too, but got used to it. I think the moderator functions ought to be accessed by an icon separate from the edit ellipsis, but I agree that it shouldn’t be a green shield like that.

          Ha, I can definitely see how that could be visual clutter. You should also see it for posts when scrolling through the community.

          I help mod a handful of communities, and I suppose it helps sometimes when I’m navigating into random threads from my inbox - just as a reminder.

      That’s definitely weird. At least it seems like it’s just a UI glitch on that end and hasn’t empowered everyone who interacts with mod abilities lol.

      Maybe check with the voyager community? Seems like a bug or something is out of sync. I’m not familiar enough with it to offer much more than that, unfortunately.

        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!
