    What is CLM? quick internet search says “Cuck Lives Matter” but it sounds a bit out of context in this thread.

      One of the acronyms used in this comm. Check the sidebar:

      CLM - Clueless mod: The mod probably just doesn’t understand how their software works.

        Every fucking post on here, someone uses an acronym nobody recognises, someone else makes a smartass reply, and then there’s another reply stating what it means as if it’s obvious.

        It would be far easier to just use words.

          Fwiw, some methods of access to Lemmy make it extremely obvious - the desktop browser mode puts it into the “sidebar” area on the side, and PieFed even from a mobile device puts the sidebar text down below every single post - while certain apps and the mobile basic web UI does not show it by default.

          Even as I type this the list is directly to the right of my text, though most of the time I just use Firefox on Android and then it does not show.

          I dunno if this explanation helps but I was trying to convey how different people access this site via different methods (even on different days or times of day), so it perhaps gets confusing then when some people see the direction to do things one way, but then new users don’t see that.

            That sidebar doesn’t even show up when I’m viewing a post, only on the main community page. This is Boost for Lemmy.

              PieFed will show it. But Lemmy from a mobile won’t show a sidebar for posts, only for the community, as you are also seeing on Boost (and I don’t see it on Mbin or using Voyager either). So the info is there, but not nearly so easily presented unless someone is using a desktop, PieFed, or perhaps some apps might show it.

              Then again, whoever made the community and the existing userbase gets to decide what they want done.

          I’m doing it because that’s what I expect from an “am I the arsehole? Mod edition” community. That said, if you think that they’re obnoxious you might want to tell db0 (the mod of this comm) as feedback, since the sidebar kind of encourages their usage.
