I assume you didn’t read the comment I was replying to, which asks if it can be used as a default ui on a server, which affects everyone, but thank for questioning my comprehension ability.

Or possibly just adjust aspects of the responsive design to correctly present for mobile viewports, but the point still stands that having it as a default for an instance is a premature notion right now due to anyone logging into that instance on a mobile browser.
“it is expected that everyone uses some kind of app on the phone”
lol ok
lemmy apps are still in development, don’t even reflect some server settings correctly, and the only version of lemmy that works totally as intended is the web portal, but we’re all expected to be using apps for everything?
sure, buddy
edit: also the point is that someone asked if it could be used as a lemmy instance default front end, which would only make sense if only desktop users ever logged in via a browser. How you cannot absorb this detail is beyond me really.
The comment I replied to clearly asked if they could use it as a default instance front end. I know you want to cast the question I was responding to as also irrelevant, but it just isn’t, when plenty of people log in via a mobile browser, whether you like it or not.
lemmy apps are still in development and all are subtly buggy, so until those are updated and refined, sometimes the web view is the only accurate one. So yes, at times I prefer the browser.
edit: for another example, see the Reddit app. I entirely prefer the browser over it.
I also backed up and now see what you meant about being able to have multiple front ends for an instance. I read that as being able to select a frontend, not as having an “instance.com” and a “m.instance.com” at the same time, but that would solve the concern I raised. Yeah, we’re good.
I haven’t found this feature anywhere. It’s often used on reddit to make sure a post’s content doesn’t disappear if a subreddit gets removed or is shut down for some reason. (edit: or recently wasn’t accessible because a subreddit went private in protest or otherwise. Or, more normally, you want a single content page...
It’s pretty handy for managing and preserving personal content. I follow a few users on reddit because they publish things directly to their profiles before anywhere else, such as things in development that they aren’t ready to “officially release” to any subreddit.
Oh, I would thoroughly expect you to ban such a community if it became a staging area for trolling and abuse. That’s one reason I’m here, getting away from that nonsense. My intention is just having a central place for content that is too long for mastodon, and/or that I could share in communities, or link to from mastodon (or outside the fediverse in general.)
edit: and thank you for answering the question, appreciate knowing I can make such a thing here.
My understanding is that whenever someone you follow on mastodon makes a post, in kbin it shows up under Microblogs in the “random” magazine… I think… which is here:
but maybe you can narrow that down by using the “subscribed” filter? Maybe? (edit: yes, appears that’s how to do it, select the subscribed filter and then the microblogs tag for kbin.social/sub/microblog to see just who you’re following.)
I think things only show up in other magazine microblogs if someone on kbin specifically posts one to that magazine.
Still working things out myself. But it’s probably better to have a separate mastodon account and appropriate app to keep up with those posts and ignore the Microblogs tab because for some reason all comments are always expanded. Again, I think.
edit: correction already, it looks like everyone posting on Mastodon shows up in the random microblog, whether you follow them or not.
Alexandrite is a Beautiful Web Frontend for Lemmy (wedistribute.org)
Alexandrite is slick, gorgeous, and brings a lot to the Lemmy experience. I highly recommend giving it a try.

Is there a lemmy equivalent to posting under your own user profile on reddit? (not attached to a specific subreddit or community)
