It’s my understanding that Mastodon and Lemmy work together well in the Fediverse. I CAN see my Beehaw account from Mastodon, as well as other user accounts, but have difficulty understanding how I can specially find and follow Beehaw and/or other Lemmy instance content via Mastodon.
The reason for my inquiry is two fold:
-
Using Beehaw in my browser on iPhone regularly causes Safari to crash. As there’s no viable iOS app for the platform as of yet, this greatly limits my ability to interact with Beehaw.
-
I’d like to use a single interface for both Mastodon and Lemmy if possible. I’m currently using Ice Cubes and really enjoy it.
Has anyone else figured this out or am I misunderstanding the concept?
Regarding security, the unique thing about this is that PWAs are dynamically loaded and updated from the distribution site which is typically any arbitrary website. The question then is the website in question and the server it is on secure. Seems like this is the downside of PWAs, not distributed though a normal distribution channel which has some extra security and controls. Not sure an arbitrary website is that secure just in general. Do not know either way.
The rest is same as using any app that you did not write and audit. Do you trust the author and an app without a lot of history? Not saying anything bad about this PWA. In fact, it is developing a lot of good feedback so probably fine. Who can tell for sure about any app for that matter.
Just how I think about it.
