      Thanks, I’ll look into it. But it will be too late to edit this post by then unfortunately. Lemmy doesn’t let you edit them after a few minutes. Might be useful in a future post though.

        Thats incorrect. I just checked it by editing my own last post which is from yesterday. Maybe your client wont let you do that?

          Unless things have changed really recently, it looks like you can edit a post, but the changes don’t apply.

            Maybe that is an instance-specific feature. I have edited old posts plenty of times over the past year. Edits sometimes do not federate out to every instance properly, but I have never noticed an issue with an edit not applying to the instance the post is on.

            I‘m not sure where you get your information but this has never been the case. Here‘s a post of myself that is 22d old and the changes have applied. They obviously would need to propagate through AP first but unless you have sources that show different, youre wrong.

              I got it by trying to do it multiple times and the changes not applying. And I’m not using a special client, just the website.

                Okay. Thats probably an instance/user specific issue then.
