ff on mobile allows you to “install” a website and pretend to be an app. cool idea for a site like this. they only problem is that it makes the name and icon for this site “Lemmy” instead of “Beehaw”. and I’m new here so I’m using both.
I’m assuming that there’s just some customisation to be changed on the Beehaw side to make the one for this site unique

I’m reading that you seem to be confused by the naming of some server instances in the network which is indeed called “Lemmy”. One of the servers is called “lemmy.ml” (that’s where the main developers are at home and it’s currently the one with the most users but that might change). Another one is “beehaw.org”. Both and a whole number of others are part of a so-called “federated” network, they share their “communities” with each other. So, although you are registered on beehaw.org, you can as well post to a community at lemmy.ml etc.
no I’m comfortable with that.
the thing I’ve seen is totally not related to instances of Lemmy or Lemmy itself.
in Firefox mobile you have the option to “install” a website. it creates an app button on your phone and basically launches a website in it’s own “window” and it kinda pretends to be an app when though it’s still just Firefox opening a website.
what FF doesn’t seem to allow us to change the icon or name of the button that’s created. it comes directly from the website. both Lemmy and Beehaw are using the same name and icon so creating a button for each is confusing.
