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

    Your wolf is located to the right of your username, so the icon I’m referring to is on the left of the username

    You can add emojis anywhere, so it doesn’t really matter where exactly it is. Just to demonstrate it; I temporarily added a checkmark and an exclamation mark to my username ;)

    The symbol you posted however… i’ve not seen that on the site so far. Does Jerboa have custom icons maybe?
