I can’t click on it, don’t find anything on lemmy.world about it (maybe I’m just not good at searching for this stuff) and it only appears on a single comment I made. I haven’t seen it anywhere else yet. What does it mean?
EDIT / update: It is probably just an UI bug of some sort.
It means you’re armored and ready for keyboard battle.
It means Mod is speaking officially.
But I am not a mod in that community ^^° so unless an actual mod / admin slammed that icon onto my comment for whatever reason, I have no idea why it is there.
Yeah that part I don’t know, that is what that icon means, though.
Hmmm … maybe it’s something to mark an “admin-approved answer” or something similar? That’s the only thing I can think of RN.
Did you somehow put an emoji in your name? It’s on your main profile also. So I believe it’s a part of your name as opposed to community/server related.
If it was part of the username, it should appear on all comments across the site. It’s just that one single comment tho.
Interesting. It shows up on all of your comments on this thread for me. I’m using liftoff.
Very weird. Just out of curiosity, have you seen that symbol anywhere else, too? Or just in this thread?
I see it on all of your threads/comments. I haven’t noticed anyone else with emojis in their name, but I also haven’t been looking.
Sorry for the confusion, but I’m not talking about the emoji - that this little wolf head appears everywhere is normal and intended. What I mean is the red icon right next to it
If I’m reading this correctly, https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/blob/c49ca9e1958622600f615c276d599d70aa6ccda5/src/shared/components/common/user-badges.tsx#L56 suggests it’s either deleted, banned or an admin.
Weird … if it was deleted, y’all would not be able to see it, right? And I’m obviously not banned as I can still post, and neither am I an admin / mod.
PS: I can’t find anything about it in the mod log either.
Deleted shows a little red trash can next to post. Mods can see deleted posts to answer your question, that is how I can see that member’s post that was deleted in the screenshot.
Do you have a link? Does something appear when you put your mouse on top of it without clicking?
No hover text either, unlike with other icons. Direct comment links don’t properly work ATM, but there are only two comments on the post anyway: https://lemmy.world/post/4262270
The HTML says “text-danger” but I only see it on lemmy.world, maybe ask a mod about it.
Weird
Edit: I guess I can’t post the HTML even in code blocks. RIP.
The icon usually signifies you’re a moderator of the community, that the comment is within.
I am not a mod of that community tho, and the “mod icon” that does appear in the communities I moderate, looks different entirely (a green M)
Yeah, very strange. Also confusing, from a UI design perspective.

Could it be to identify you as OP?
edit: probably not; there is a different marker for that.
…and I’m also not the OP of that other comment thread ^^°
Could it mean you’re blocked/banned/shadow-banned or similar?
That was my first instinct too, but I can’t find anything about it in the mod log, where banning etc. would normally appear (the logs are public). And if I were banned, I wouldn’t be able to post and comment, nor would y’all be able to see the comment, right?
I’m just at a loss.
Very strange.
I guess it’s a UI bug, with Sync the icon doesn’t show up on your comment (and it does show up on admin comment, so it’s supported by the app).
Ah, goot to know. If it was something “official” then it should show up in the apps as well (I’m using the boring, ordinary browser version) so it seems likely that it is just a bug.
