I browsed and posted on Lemmy for a while through a desktop browser on my laptop, then installed Jerboa on my phone and started playing with it, and immediately noticed that posts I had previously read through the browser were marked in Jerboa. The only ways Jerboa could have gotten that info are: 1) the server recorded the info from the browser and relayed it to Jerboa, or 2) I was confused somehow and had also read those posts through Jerboa.
#2 above is something of a possibility but that leaves #1 as still not dispelled suspicion. I was hoping that someone familiar with the implementation would comment.

Interesting! I’ve only used lemmy on mobile, so haven’t had that experience.
