+<!-- 
+If merge request adds some new feature that depends on backend: 
+
+1. Make sure it gracefully degrades if backend hasn't been updated to support the feature,
+   we try to make PleromaFE compatible with older versions of BE so that people can still
+   update frontend safely without updating backend since it's costly and much riskier.
