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.

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.

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

I prefer it this way as well, but it is open to abuse. Can you see the change log in Lemmy?
No, you can’t, unfortunately.
They say they are, but they’re actually raised in battery farms.
