This is very helpful, thank you! I’ll look into setting up more of that sometime
Good to know, I’ll explore some more
Thank you!
Makes sense, thank you!
You could try from this

Ideally try for a smaller size, else it takes time to load and wastes people’s data
Sounds good! This was my first dive into browser extensions as well. It’s not too bad once you go over the basics. If you give it a try, see the contributing page on the repo’s wiki for some resources on how to get started with browser extensions.
A super short summary is:
If you DO give it a try, we were part way through migrating features from the LemmyTools userscript and that might be a good place to start. I wasn’t familiar with userscripts so I didn’t make much progress, and can’t get back to it for a little while. The issues page of the repo should have LemmyTools related features tagged. If any details are missing, let me know and I’ll add them in :)
We actually have an extension for this, it’s one of the more popular extensions for Lemmy&Kbin, going by the counts on chrome/firefox stores:
It was originally made to solve this problem, but we’ve been adding other features as well. Right now you can redirect communities and posts, and redirect links by right clicking on them.
Let me know if it works, and also where it doesn’t so that we can improve it :)
We’re actually working on a browser extension for this! It currently supports both communities and posts
We ran into the same issue, federated sites are hard to work with. Right now, the extension has it so that a user needs to right click on a link to be redirected. That way the user can choose which links get redirected, and there’s no chance of accidentally redirecting the wrong thing.
There are other solutions (using the API for example), but they seemed to slow the browser down too much. Another proposed feature that hasn’t been implemented yet was to redirect when holding down a key (when holding down “r”, try to redirect the link).
Feel free to take a look, try it, and you can totally contribute code. It’s all open source and we’ve tried to keep the code simple and easy to verify/contribute.
I personally find a lack of downvotes to be annoying and harmful. People don’t go through the trouble of reporting problem content, and it usually leads to poor quality inflammatory content rising to the top.
If you’re new and haven’t really set up yet, explore other instances. You can find one that aligns with what you want out of Lemmy without jumping through hoops.
If you have set up, there are account migration tools for you. They just aren’t perfect yet
I don’t have as much experience working with the stack, but from what I’ve read it seems like Rust is a pretty solid choice for the backend. It also seems like a lot of the upgrades people want are for the front end, so that’s what would benefit the most from being simpler.
Typescript makes sense, and a handful of frameworks have typescript support. Would anyone know more about the benefits of using Inferno over something like Vue/Nuxt or plain React?
A few days late, but this is actually something I’ve been working on for Instance Assistant! I implemented a first attempt and released it this weekend. Let me know if it works for you :)
It should pop up in the sidebar of any post on a foreign instance. If it doesn’t load, you may need to refresh the page. That’s something I’m still working on because redirecting on a Lemmy site isn’t always detected as navigating to a new page.
There aren’t many comments yet on the Pixelfed accounts I follow, but they should definitely have a downvote option.
Instagram doesn’t have it and I’m certain they sort by most controversial, so every popular post becomes an outrage generator. The post could be about something completely harmless and non-controversial, and the top comment wil stilll be starting some kind of argument.
Fediverse doesn’t need to squeeze out every drop of engagement, so it doesn’t need that.
This is something that is probably better if implemented in Lemmy itself. It would be tied to a particular community, and it wouldn’t need to cross over between instances.
If someone tried to make a browser extension for it, it would only appear for people using the same browser extension. Some third party apps have it like that, and it’s not that helpful.
What’s better for a browser extension / app to take on is cross-instance functionality, such as jumping between instances, having buttons / content in the UI, etc. I’m working on an extension for that ( !instance_assistant@lemmy.ca ), and while I really want flairs as well, I don’t think it would be good for a browser extension.
Once it’s implemented in Lemmy itself, then we could probably make it easier to add/remove/view/filter flairs using a browser extension.
I’ve been using Nova Launcher for years now, but I explored other options a few months ago because of the ownership change. Lawnchair was the best one I found, but I didn’t switch to it because it looked like it was missing features I needed. Folders was an important one.
Which version / source are you using for the app? I got a bit lost trying to find a recent version. The last release on the GitHub is from 2018, and the last prerelease is from a year ago. There’s also an issue for the folders which I was following, and it actually just went stale: https://github.com/LawnchairLauncher/lawnchair/issues/2471
I also see Lawnchair2, but that looked like a fork or something
This is something we have a workaround on an extension I’m working on. You can right-click on a link and have it open in your home instance
I think the issue here is
It makes sense to hide read posts on the main feed, but not when you’re looking at a particular user?
