Dev update #17: Bookmarks, First step to "ignoring instances"

Hello again, welcome to Dev update 17!

All changes are on nemmy.app.

What changed

• You can now Bookmark Posts and Comments

Although, I didn't code the Bookmark Page yet, so you can't view all your saved posts and comments in one place yet.

• You can now choose an Account to use when creating Communities

This is the first step of many which will make a seamless experience possible, without worrying about Instances at all!

What singles out Nemmy here out of all other Lemmy Apps is the approach to multi-user handling. On other Apps you would first change your active user account and then create a Community.

On Nemmy it's irrelevant which account is the active one, since the User is seen as an abstract which can have multiple "linked instances".

This is the first feature I implemented that uses this concept, but I will soon introduce this to creating posts/comments/notifications/chats etc. as well.

The active account will only be relevant to voting in the long run.

• A new number formatter

Most numbers will now be displayed in a more sensible format, like this:

Bugfixes

• Users can now vote again on posts & comments

That's it for now

But there will be more soon!
