I don't know where else to ask this. What do the various symbols I've seen around mean? (lemmy.world)

Obviously I understand the trash can icon, but I didn't delete my own comment so is that telling me the mods or the original poster deleted my comment? Does the symbol on the right mean they blocked me?

I tried finding info anywhere in the sync app and looked for Lemmy FAQ pages but none of them had anything on the symbols anywhere.

The first symbol means that's you.

The second means it was deleted, if you didn't do it then a mod or admin did.

The last symbol means that person is banned in that community.

Thank you for the info. Are there any other symbols or site quirks I should know about?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Those symbols are from Sync, which is what I use.

Ah. I guess that makes sense. I only ever go on social media from my phone so I will only be viewing Lemmy through the lens of Sync I guess. Thanks for the info.
