I’m using Jerboa and I sometimes see symbols next to peoples’ username. One looks like a “no message” symbol, and the other looks like a “no person” symbol in red. What do they mean? Are there more symbols?

I’ve tried a web search but I only found results related to Motorhead and some kind of desert rodent.

Also, is it possible to search the content of posts on Lemmy? At least in Jerboa the search function seems to be only to search for communities by name. Surely someone has asked this before but I couldn’t figure out how to search posts.

Thanks!

Edit: added an example of the “no person” icon

    Took a couple of days to get familiar, but you should switch to Voyager if you want to search the content of posts across lemmy. I used Jerboa for 6 months and finally decided to check out Voyager after a few bugs in Jerboa and comment sorting default not being a thing.

    It’s been much better since switching for me. Text formatting needs work but that’s pretty minor in the grand scheme of things to me.

        Aye. Switched over from Liftoff a week ago and I am so happy with the improvements!

        (yes, I am aware that Liftoff’s dev is busy af, I do not fault him for not being able to/not wanting to keep it constantly updated and adding more features)
