Why YSK: You might be used to Reddit where you can’t edit titles. This is important both for the errant poster, but also for the person coming from ages in the future who might stumble upon it.

    Are comments marked in some way to show when edited like reddit was?

    Are titles?

    Like could I write a comment “how often do you call your parents” and after everyone comments, once a week, once a day, oh god never, etc,

    Edit the comment to say “how often do you eat poop”

    And then sit back and chuckle softly to myself? Or would it say *(edited)

    It should.

        Kbin doesn’t show it though, so not every software will show the edit tag.

        EDIT: Turns out that Kbin doesn’t seem to have implemented that yet.

          Yeah, I have a kbin account and noticed the same thing. I keep going back and forth between the two. I understand why it’s implemented, but I’m not sure I entirely like the idea of having every favorite being visible to the public. At least they’re only visible on the specific comment/ post but not visible from the user profile.

      When a post is edited (title or otherwise), a little pencil icon is shown to tell you it’s edited, just like comments.

          On jerboa it has how long ago it was posted, then how long ago it was edited in the top right of the comment
