    ETA I’m really bad at hot taking, editing, and not saying I edited

    It’s weird. Usually edited comments display a little asterisk telling you they’re edited. I wonder if somehow the interaction between Piefed and Lemmy means that doesn’t happen.

    edit: just testing editing

    edit again: oh no, it seems like Lemmy might have removed that feature??

    edit the third: ah, this is intentional

    Don’t show edit mark if comment was edited in less than 5 minutes

    Kind like Reddit, though I think it was 3 minutes over there.

      An old forum I used to frequent had the feature that let you edit a comment up until the point someone replied to it, at which point it was locked. That worked pretty well.

        That’s pretty interesting. Personally I prefer being able to edit at any time, door example if that reply is pointing out an error, you can then fix the error. Keeping a visible change log of edits is also great, to provide transparency. A forum I still frequent has that.
