Why is my community modding everyone who comments?

Is this a Lemmy thing? Something with lemmy.ca? Something about Voyager?

I tried looking it up but found nothing that might explain this. I have a community that’s super niche and I don’t post there much, but I do on occasion. I don’t care that it’s not that active – it’s enough for me.

Over the past couple of days, I’ve had a tiny amount of interaction, and everyone who posts seems to be automatically flagged as a mod. What’s happening?

e: this is what I see:

  • You are the only moderator of both communities you moderate, so it sounds like a display bug

    • Awesome, thanks for letting me know you don’t see everyone as mods. That helps me.

  • This one? https://lemmy.ca/c/timetravellerguide

    I loaded it, and I'm only seeing you as a mod (no one else in the comments has the badge).

    Are you using the default interface or another app? Maybe clear cache/cookies and see if that fixes it?

    • Yes, that one. Here’s what i see:

      I’m using Voyager on iOS.

      And I don’t see those flags on posts outside my community, anywhere on Lemmy.

      e: if you’re not seeing it, it’s likely a bug in Voyager. Thanks for letting me know! I’ll post in in the Voyager community. <3

      • That shield symbol just means that YOU are a mod in that community and can take mod actions on those comments.

      • That's definitely weird. At least it seems like it's just a UI glitch on that end and hasn't empowered everyone who interacts with mod abilities lol.

        Maybe check with the voyager community? Seems like a bug or something is out of sync. I'm not familiar enough with it to offer much more than that, unfortunately.
