Good question sometimes I find posts that have been posted 3 years ago in Hot… It seems really broken

It opens the item (post, comment) in the instance that it was created on. For example I’m on https://sh.itjust.works so if I click on that button of your post it opens this post on https://lemmy.world, which is your instance.

I added a mark as read button to the posts but now patiently waiting till the WebSockets -> REST API transition is complete so it can get merged.

The front end needs a lot of work… Every bit is appreciated and the maintainers are pretty fast at reviewing and providing feedback which is nice to see.

Let’s not kid ourselves UI/UX needs a lot of work not just a little, but it’s making progress and all done by volunteers and that’s impressive on it’s own.

Another problem is that you never actually receive a confirmation if your application was received and/or rejected, you are just sorta stuck in limbo after applying.

And I especially appreciate that you chose the “harder” native app approach instead of going the simpler route of creating yet another webapp wrapper.
