Would be awesome if we could collectively work on a script that would contain all the good features.
The beauty of Lemmy being open source is that an RES-equivalent shouldn’t be necessary. RES existed because there were so many qol improvements that the admins were unwilling to implement. But here, you could always just make a PR and contribute the improvement into the codebase
That’s very true. The only caveat is if the PR isn’t merged and/or declined.
This is a bit of an old post, but that’s something we’re trying to do with an extension :)
It started out as an extension for a specific purpose, but I’m now trying to restructure it so it’s easier to bring in new features!
I wanted to do that, and I started on an extension for it, but as others have said, lemmy being open source means that improvements should mostly be made on the website itself, rather than on a browser addon.
The downside is that for user settings, they are stored on the instance’s database, which means that you need to know a little bit of rust to implement a new setting (I’m doing that right now to open comments in a new tab instead of having to middle/ctrl click)
