It’s a leftover from reddit. A comment would be marked as “edited” if you changed anything after posting it, and since some people are shitheads and change their comments to say completely different things after people have already replied to them it’s just a way to inform people that the edit you made to your comment was just to fix typos and not anything significant
The only problem is if you accidentally include some personal information or other type you don’t want to be out there and you’ve edited it out, you probably don’t want it to be accessible.
Lemmy even shows ninja edits. On Reddit you had a few minutes to get a quick edit in before it would be marked as edited. Lemmy gives the mark even if you edit within 5 seconds.

So you can edit something significant and just add “edit: typo”.
It’s funny how people think writing “edit: typo” is more “transparent” and whatnot.
These people don’t know about lying.
Easy solution; show edit history.
Seems like the perfect answer.

I mean, u can still delete whole comment
Lemmy posts also show they are edited.
Though I never wrote that I fixed a typo on reddit either. Only stating the edit if it was adding info or changing something.

Like so
I leave spelling mistakes once somebody replied and no comment about fixing it before that.
I tend to
leavleave both correct and bad spellings.I fix spelling mistakes once someone replied because that’s when I come back and see my comment again and notice the spelling mistake.
Or people can change their comment and leave in “Edit: typo” to throw people off their trails, like I just did.
What, did you think I was gonna be deceptive?
EDIT: Typo
«Or people can change their comment and leave in “Edit: typo” to throw people of their trails» indeed, my friend
Hey man I didn’t know that and that’s super helpful. Thanks for sharing!
The same is literally here? You will aso got a mark for an edited comment.
