Isn't it nice being able to correct titles.
Dang, I've been using sync for more than a decade, and even I did not know that sync had multi window support on Android. I think there needs to be a continuous education workshop, video tutorial series, or a sphinx style docs site on all these features when the beta dust settles. Multi tasking is so handy. FYI:

A wide crop of a screenshot zoomed in on r/place's pixel canvas, where a white on black pixelated font reads:

With the slogan boarded on the right by the r/blind logo (a snoo wearing sunglasses, holding a cane, standing next to a guide dog). The small p.d logo for programming.dev is squarely tucked above and to the left of RBlind's snoo. Lastly, boarded along the bottom is a row of third party Reddit app icons, from left to right:
- Apollo

- Boost for Reddit

I've recently been looking into using Backblaze with their S3 object storage for hosting Lemmy, but it looks like they also have personal PC backup cloud offerings. Perhaps you could use them to do both?
What is your local system clock; 16 seconds behind your NTP server? That, or OP just has a similarly inverted clock skew.
I guess OP could be posting from the future. Hey @akrz@programming.dev , what is the closing price of SMP 500 tomorrow? :P
The video player in Lemmy-UI really needs the loop feature in the playback settings. At least I'm not seeing the option via Chrome or Firefox for Android.
Perhaps pict-rs, Lemmy's image hosting backend, could auto downscale image uploads and only fail if the input was egregiously large to preserve upload bandwidth and avoid DDoSing. Would still be another added workload for the server.
Perhaps down scaling would be best done on the client side, then the resulting effect would be more transparent to the user before submission. Could that be done in easily in JS? Then that could help save storage and egress expenses for hosting funded only by donations.
Not sure how to help on iOS. Perhaps you could modify the manifest file for the PWA, before installing it, and change the display property to something other than fullscreen or standalone, so that the browser navigation bar is retained, but at that point, might as well use the browser anyway.

Perhaps you could file a ticket on the Lemmy UI repo about iOS PWA navigation? Although, surely iOS web devs must have a solution to such a common UI pattern.
Yea, luckily Android can use the back navigation gesture in the PWA to traverse the site much like a browser tab's history. Android even has the lesser know forward navigation as well: handy when you accidentally pressed the back navigation gesture, but don't want to have to find the link you clicked before to get back to the same page you backed out of.
I wish the website or PWA had more of a short term memory about the state of pages you visit. As when I go back and forth posts and feeds, I have to return the content sort option back to what I was using before I left the comment section, as well as re-minimize the same comment threads, even if those comment subtrees never changed sence I folded them previously.
If this did the slang and colloquial translation, that could be useful. I find it kind of amusing that UK English is oftenly annotated as such, with some nebulous consensus reached in deciding it had to be labelled it's own language option.
There have been duplicate threads in both !meta@programming.dev and !programming@programming.dev cropping up about every few days, just after the previous related post falls off top of the local active/hot feeds. So I think pinning this mega thread for a while would help consolidate the discussion. Related:
- How can we keep the fediverse federated?
- Should programming.dev defederate from Meta if they implement ActivityPub?
- Are We going to defederate from Threads
Not sure there's anything officially formed just yet, but you could checkout what the former transcribers for r/TranscribersOfReddit are up to:
