    I can’t say that the backends don’t track that for sure because I haven’t looked at the source or anything. But keeping a history is something very commonly done in the client. Just like Web browsers.

      Right, what I saw (unless I’m mistaken which is possible) was reading posts on one client (Firefox browser on my laptop computer) and then seeing the read posts marked on a completely different client (Jerboa on my phone). That means the info must have somehow been communicated between the two clients. Suspicion points to the server. I will ask on /c/privacy@lemmy.ml about this and/or look at the code base.
