That's not a good idea, because that would allow any website a logged in user visits to impersonate them (e.g. link to a malicious site posted somewhere, users click on it, JS on the site starts posting the same link in their name, more users click on it, ...).

But react native doesn't restrict cross-domain access like browsers do, so it shouldn't be an issue in your case: https://reactnative.dev/docs/network#using-other-networking-libraries

The user's browser will send it along with the request depending on the samesite cookie settings.

The best solution would be if lemmy used federated identity (e.g. OIDC), not sure why they aren't doing that.
