I always wondered what that icon was for until I just hovered over it and it’s apparently somethingwith lemmy.world. Can we have something like that too?

Also, what causes this icon to appear? On the middle post neither the poster nor the community is on lemmy.world. Do they just put the symbol everywhere they feel like?

EDIT:

Turns out, that icon is not from lemmy.world specifically, but for the general Fediverse. It highlights posts which are not from your instance (so not from blahaj zone).

    That icon is the fediverse icon, not the lemmy.world icon (lemmy.world one looks like a globe)

    It shows the original version of that post (the top one links to lemmy.world since thats where that user is from, center one links to mander, and bottom one links to gehirneimer.de)

    The post you made here has the icon for me that ends up linking to the version of the post on blahaj

    Isn’t it to say the account is from another instance?

    You figured it out, but on lemmy.ml at least everyone shows that icon, if they’re on server or not. It is actually useful because you can view a thread from their server POV

    it’s a shame lemmy doesn’t add a class to it so you could change it via local css :(
