I’m confused now, the post above says that there will be initial compatibility but after that (presumably as sublinks evolves) Lemmy apps will have to display as best they can.

Are there any apps being developed for Sublinks?
It’s odd, the product is new and exciting but the pricing and admin side is old fashioned (you have to pay by card, rather than a privacy protecting service, you can’t even do a monthly subscription and it’s in dollars only) and in my opinion it’s over priced for what it offers. Also, it doesn’t seem to work with your existing email address so you also have all the hassle of changing things over to a hey email address.
That’s not right Matrix was never going to become Element.
As none of the developers had done anything since August, I believe there was an attempt by someone else back in November to get it working /fork Liftoff! but the code was not in a good state and because of the way it works would be very difficult.
Be careful with this as monitors are usually a different aspect ratio to a TV so a you may get a distorted/cropped picture or black bars (depending what you connect to it) which will be noticeable at larger sizes.
Not unusual at all. Everyone I know does this. Nothing wrong with you it’s just that age (and birthdays) becomes less important. Also once past a certain age you actively want to forget that you’re old, so you need to consciously think about it.
But don’t worry, once you get into your 80s it becomes a badge of honour and the older you get the more you’ll think about it.
You’ve misunderstood. You’ll only be able to add a PWA to the Home Screen if it uses WebKit.
That’s our name for it. If there is a planet or planets circling Kepler 22 they won’t call it Kepler 22.
Similarly any aliens won’t call Earth by that name. For example, Klingons might have called Earth yoSpu'bogh QongDaq until they made contact.
So aliens wouldn’t type Earth into sat nav but whatever they call it. Now that’s a showerthought !
If they haven’t visited us how will they know what the planet is called and how to spell it?
I think it’s only if you use a WebKit based browser ?
That was my reason for asking about sublinks apps.
I know that devs like web interfaces but the truth is you need apps if anything social is going to become established.
It’s a sad fact in the fediverse that routinely apps or even front end GUI aren’t compatible. There’s only so many times this can happen (or instances shut down or not be maintained) before it all becomes a bit much.
So I think relying on Lemmy apps is a mistake.
