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.

Never played around with this feature, if someone more tech saavy can explain what changes would need to be done with our website to allow this, please let us know!

For websites, there is a webmanifest file that has the app name and icon stuff. I'm not sure if lemmy makes this easy to configure
