They don’t have to be, as far as I understand it. I’ve installed a few websites as apps on my phone (because their app had trackers in it) and they can work really well. Examples are Bluesky and Flipboard.

An example where I agree with you is LinkedIn - installed as a web app due to trackers - but they know this, and the whole point of their app is to get you with Facebook and Microsoft trackers, so they make the web app experience miserable on purpose.

But (and correct me if I’m wrong) a PWA made by a non-surveillance capitalist could be just as good as a native app.

Valid. Except on some browsers e.g. Vivaldi you can put sites on a list that retain their cookies even when you clear the rest.

Why not a PWA?

We just put some of these privacy alternatives on a map: https://www.rebeltechalliance.org/stopusingbigtech.html (scroll down)

What’s missing is anything truly FOSS with no fixed country of origin, but it’s still fun to see how some of the main players spread out.

Enjoy!

Oh wow, you’re right!

I wonder how they set that up? DDG has thousands of bangs but not one for Lemmy - probably because it is not at one single URL?

It would be cool if there was an operator that would force the search into Lemmy content. Are they called bangs? Like starting with !r

Great idea! Two things

• E2EE is a default in privacy by design so consider CryptPad for docs instead
• change the name. Inline Style is terrible (sorry but to a native English speaker it sounds lame). How about just Inline?

I thought that I would need Yunohost to take care of all the web hosting stuff in the back ground…? Are you saying to just push files into the VPS barebones, or into Yunohosts website app shell? (Sorry I’m new to VPS stuff).

And how would you push the files from Codeberg? what is the method?

If I host a website on Yunohost can I push the files from Codeberg to it using git?

Does anyone know if you can deploy files to Yunohost using Git? Or via a url from a git repository?

I’d like to host a website using Yunohost, and push the files to it from Codeberg.

Urgh this is so backwards.

Governments need to fund more FOSS not less!

Hopefully the EU can increase its support to compensate.

Thank you that is useful to have that explanation here. I had no idea it works like that!

I’ve not seen this type of logging in issue within the Mastodon ‘world’ because no one’s ever ‘sent me a link from another instance and then I tried to log on from that link’ 😂. I just tried it on an inprivate browser window and of course it’s the same as what I found here with Lemmy - as you described. With Mastodon I’m on the .social instance and I can see and interact with posts from any other instance - but after your explanation I realise that’s because the content was alwasy served up from within the instance.

[I agree that with ActivityPub we certainly cannot expect to log in with the same handle *between *services (i.e. use your Mastodon handle to log in to Lemmy). Although that would be cool. Persistent IDs across the fediverse would be the dream imho (like Nostr does it).]

oh right. Well here’s the post I was talking about: https://lemmyverse.link/feddit.nl/post/31396342 😊 Thanks!

Thank you all for explaining.

The behaviour I was expecting was to click ‘login’ on the feddit.nl page, and that login page to recognise that I was logging in with the credentials used by lemmy.ml, and to log me into lemmy.ml instead, and then to be redirected to the ‘local’ version of the link on the lemmy.ml instance.

Rather than it just be a feddit.nl login page only, and be told ‘log in not recognised’. That’s where my confusion came from. I’m like “wait, I can’t log into Lemmy here? why?!”

Ooooooooh I see! right… yes that works.

I wasn’t familiar with the idea of the instance ‘fetching’ a post. Thank you!
