I'm not sure how achievable or realistic this is, but I was wondering if Summit has ever considered potentially adding a visual indicator for Head Mods of Lemmy communities?


For example:

A small "H" or "HM" (for Head Mod) next to their username in their own community

A symbol, perhaps something similar to Reddit's Shield Icon for Redd Mods

A different name color, similar to how Lemmy Admins have red usernames—something to visually distinguish them from regular green mods

This would make it easier for users (and even other moderators) to identify who the Head Mod is, especially in communities with several regular moderators.

Currently there are no differences between mods at least in Lemmy API's eyes.
