I've been using Consent-O-Matic which works pretty well but built into the browser? Wow.

@Atemu This is why, for me, Firefox is unreplaceable on Android. Just the fact that's not Chromium + also supports extensions is what makes it superior.
I wish that it'll come pre-installed in phones instead of Chrome, so more people can give it a try. But is Android and Google would never allow that.
Unrelated to the post: it's so cool that you're replying from mastodon
The question is, did they get your comment? You didn't @ them. Does Mastodon know how to interpret and exchange replies from Lemmy if it doesn't use @ tagging?
@deweydecibel @Sekoia Yes, I got your reply without @ me. ActivityPub works in mysterious ways.
For example: I can create new posts on Lemmy/Kbin, but those posts can be only text. I still haven't figured out how to post images.
Looks like you either have to @ people to reply to them, or it populates it for you
@thomcat @deweydecibel @Sekoia I see them from lemmy.ca, then I copy the Fediverse link if I wanna reply a comment.
If I wanna make reply the post. I copy the Fediverse link of the post.
That's how do I work ActivityPub in Mastodon.
it could be because lemmy (maybe kbin??) doesnt copy the embedded data, only the text, maybe mestadon works differently? so the images dont come across?
What in the heck?
Whenever I try to open a Lemmy community or user profile from mastodon, I see their profile but no posts are displayed 😢
Yes, and it even associates it as a reply directly to their post. If you're using Lemmy on the web, you can click the rainbow fediverse button to open the comment from the originating instance.

@Undearius @deweydecibel Nice! Now you have created an #Inception kind of post.
Piece of advice boys. When you make posts on Lemmy/Kbin put at the end of it some #hashtags related to the post's topic. So it can be indexable for Mastodon and Pixelfed users.
As a Mastodon user can see posts from Pixelfed users due to their diligence of using hashtags.
This is something easy that can improve post discoverability and also you'll get more user interaction.
It would be interesting to see some automation there, like having default tags for a community. It would be kinda silly to post something c/firefox and have to tag #firefox too.
Mull/Mulch ftw
The 60hz on mull is disgusting.
C'est la vie ‼️

Wait, I can change my homepage URL on iPhone. I find it hard to believe that’s an option exclusive to iPhone.
Edit: it’s at the bottom of the settings>homepage tab
Sorry, I didn’t mean “I can’t believe” as in “I think you’re lying” but “I can’t believe” as in “what an absurd feature to leave out on android”.
No worries, I most definitely could have phrased it a lot better.
Having the feature then losing it is even whackier. 🥴 Especially I’d think their focus would be android users and making sure it’s up to date/functioning for them.
I hope Apple will relax the rules on web browsers in order for Firefox to use their own engine instead of WebKit. New EU laws will put more pressure on Big Tech.
That is odd. Firefox Nightly at least has an Add to Homescreen option to put a shortcut to the current URL on your homescreem. Then you could put that icon where you want it.
Agreed, but they are both one tap to take you to your desired homepage. Only difference is there is no Home button in the app. Not sure why Mozilla would leave that out. There is always the extension route, that is one thing I've always liked about Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/home-button-for-ff-on-android/
Too bad the sandboxing is not working. I use Vanadium right now but Firefox on desktop. I would switch instantly if they beefed up security.
