$0.99 per month to read all the comments on a thread, slowly increase the cost year-over-year and eventually add a second (initially) $0.99 per month to read any comments at all (because you should only read posts and only the ones we want you to see).

If they know who you are on the platform they won’t stop knowing who you are off-platform. As a really basic example, browser cookies make cross-site tracking easy (there are other more effective methods of tracking like fingerprinting or behavioral analysis too).

Plus, the average user is logged into Chrome. They don’t even need to track you in that case — you gave your info to them!

There is no back button. You swipe left-to-right (from the left edge of the screen) to go back.

Try using the Progressive Web App (PWA) instead. I'm on iOS and haven't found a good app for Lemmy yet but the PWA has helped me get used to Lemmy on my phone in place of Reddit. You just open the site in your phone's native browser (Safari on iOS, probably Chrome on Android?) and choose "Save to Home Screen". Now it looks like any other app and behaves like it too, even though it's secretly just the web page.

As others have said, you can log in using any general Lemmy app. However, you can also use specifically Beehaw (or any Lemmy instance like sh.it or world) as a Progressive Web App (PWA).

If you're on iOS, go to the site on Safari (other browsers don't work) and in the browser options select "Add to Home Screen". The page from Safari will appear on your home screen like any other app. Not sure how it works on Android but I imagine the process is similar and involves using Chrome.

Navigating it is easy enough, tap posts to load them and swipe left-to-right to go back one "layer". You do need to make a PWA for every Lemmy instance you use, however. If you use a standard app, you can use the one app for all your instances. I haven't found a good app on iOS yet, so PWA it is for me!

This is also how I got over the urge to go on Reddit. I simply replaced Apollo with Beehaw's PWA so if I feel the Reddit urge, I end up on Beehaw instead.

I got to the youtube video and decided to kill Paul instead because otherwise I'd be at this all day. It was fun until it wasn't anymore.

I "hacked" the game (if you know how to get into the scripts, just look for the one that has the unmangled text "wordle" in it) to find out how long it is and the later tasks are simply ridiculous. If anyone's thinking of actually trying to get to the end, I wouldn't recommend it.

This spoiler contains all the tasks after the Youtube video task (and keep in mind, you still need to upkeep ALL the previous tasks too, such as the chess notation or that digits add up to 25):
