Desktop and Mobile show different forum content

Took both of these screenshots just now one from Mac and iPhone Safari, the search filters are the same (topics, latest). But why the difference in what's shown?

I can't tell from the screenshots - but are you logged into the Discourse in both? Is one, by chance, an anonymous view?

Yes, logged in, same user account.

Something in whatever Discourse uses to track persistence (Cookies, I'd guess - I don't actually know) is clearly not in sync. You've got 290 unread in one, 307 in another. Best quick-fix suggestion, log out and log back in to reset things (easily).

From my experience, the view across devices is consistent when I'm logged in with the same account. It doesn't sync reads in one device across to another, but opening a new session in a browser on a separate device works for me, with latest reads updated appropriately.
