      Lemmy needs to get rid of edit if you edit within 1 min. Often you’ll see a typo after you post and you have to edit. There should be a grace period like reddit.

        Yes, I do that all the time. No better time to proofread than after you post!

        I don’t get why there isn’t a “view edit” feature. Lay it all out.

      i think the point is that you only have to write “edit:” when you actually changed something in your message

      if there’s no “edit” it’s often safe to assume nothing really changed, it’s just a typo or a rewording

        It’s good to have a hint on what he changed, if the whole text completely or was just a typo. It doesn’t hurt…

          It’s just one of those painfully Reddit things I was hoping we had left behind.

          Edit: Thanks for the gold kind stranger!

          if the whole text completely was changed there’d be an “edit”
