Anchors are not in the gemtext specification. A client doing something hackish like making fake anchors using headers and scrolling to them would be one of those “bad” behaviors since it breaks the standard and changes design decisions. I think it’s the same reason you don’t see anyone auto-loading images or other similar things.

I noticed BBS had about 44000 notifications sitting in the database. There are currently 963 accounts of which 220 have visited their dashboard in the past month, so it seemed rather excessive. Most of the notifications were obsolete New Polls, which I promptly deleted. I then went ahead and deleted old notifications, bringing down the total to 4700 notifications. I'll need to make this pruning automatic, so notifications eventually expire...
