    1). Yeah that’d be nice. The reason I don’t do it is because there are 2 separate API endpoint types: one for only getting the number of notifications (which is lighter on the server), and another for getting the content. 5). The context in photon is quite annoying. I’ll probably make it better in some way soon 7). I have a branch in the works that turns menus on mobile into that 9). You can, you change “location” to “subscriptions”. it’s probably not intuitive though

    What browser should I use on mobile? I use Librewolf on desktop since it runs fine, and the vertical tabs are great, and it looks nice.

    On mobile though there’s a lot of problems with the browser space:

    • Chrome: runs great but is obviously not good for privacy
    • Firefox: what most people recommend, but it has terrible performance, looks not great, and doesn’t even have more than basic fingerprinting protection, and literally includes ads by default. It’s also less secure on Android because they don’t do per site process isolation, and the memory allocator is worse.
    • Brave: people tend to dislike brave here, but it runs well (since it’s chromium based) and has at least better fingerprinting protection.

    What other options are there?

    The “mismatching instance” is likely to happen on phtn.app because the default instance for new users is lemdro.id and you’re on feddit.org.

    I’m not exactly sure how to resolve this. I guess I could make it so that if you only have a single guest account (people who dont use the threadiverse with an account), it’ll automatically create a new one for that specific instance.

    The original link ap_id corresponds to the author’s instance.

    [email protected] posts to [email protected]. The path the post will take is this:

    User -> Author’s instance -> Community’s instance -> Notified to all other instances subscribed, to download from author’s instance.


    As for your other point, there is no good universal Lemmy linking thing for posts. communities and users have names that work on any instance, but there’s no similar unique identifier for posts.
