I hate google as much as the next guy but ya must admit Chromium is quite fast

I know some optimization techniques and will get to it soon.

Photon uses svelte which is pretty fast. Not sure what's going on with your phone. It could be Firefox, as I have a very smooth experience with Firefox on a Google Pixel 6.

You can install photon as a PWA, which is basically an app. On the website, click the three dots and click "install as app"

The server and the client render differently.

If SSR is enabled, the initial page load will be loaded by the server then sent to the client. Then, the client router will take over and load pages itself after that.

PUBLIC_INSTANCE_URL is the instance URL for photon to use. Sometimes, you might want the server to use something like localhost, so you can make the server have a different instance URL than the client.

added $3 and $5 tiers if people want to waste more money on me

(do not feel an obligation to donate. bug reports help a ton!)

The server should group them. If two crossposts are in the same post listing, the server should combine them and add a property in the API to let us know it was combined.

Also, Lemmy has no concept of a "crosspost". All it does to check a "crosspost" is check if they have the same URL.

It's not actually native, it's a PWA. However you can use a wrapping tool to upload PWAs to the play store.
