Just a "normal" http API as far as I know. There won't be any live notifications/data on release but this can be added using polling at a later stage. It was mainly done because websockets just don't scale well at all with thousands of users.

Lemmys WebSockets are being phased out currently and thus all bugs regarding them (wrong vote counters, posts being pushed in at the top in the wrong categories, etc.) are gonna go away as soon as the transition is complete.
Already resolved itself, the Nodes counter had the same dip so probably just servers not responding.
This is great! Thanks for your work.
GitHub would probably be the best place for feature requests.
That said the feature you're talking about is already (sorta) available. You can head over to your settings and disable "Show read posts" which will hide posts you either A) opened or B) up- downvoted.
I recently contributed a mark post as read button to the lemmy-ui which will hopefully be merged & released soon-ish.
It seems this is the „find out“ part of his plan.
While I agree, lemmy seems to generate a short description of the linked URL by itself which is already very useful.
Interesting read, thanks
On one hand I would love to know all these secrets on the other… A little bit of blissful ignorance might not be the worst thing.
Yeah that’s probably not gonna happen, they have communicated that they won’t give up without a fight.

I added a mark as read button to the posts but now patiently waiting till the WebSockets -> REST API transition is complete so it can get merged.
The front end needs a lot of work… Every bit is appreciated and the maintainers are pretty fast at reviewing and providing feedback which is nice to see.
