Lemmy desktop extensions
This might be a bit early, but are there any browser extensions for Lemmy similar to what there was for Reddit like RES?
I would assume something similar to it will popup eventually, just didn't know if it existed yet.
Are there features you are looking for out of an extension?
Some that come to mind:
- show hide attached images
- adjust attached image size (RES allows a drag to expand/retract)
- keyboard shortcuts to navigate posts/comments
- keyboard shortcuts to upvote
- hasn't come up yet, but show/hide videos within the post feed
I'm really just using RES as a reference but it was a great extension.
RES as an extension that is separate and distinct from reddit itself is necessary because the community has no way of improving the reddit web-ui directly. I'd hope that anyone considering working on an enhancement suite extension for Lemmy would also consider working with the Lemmy devs directly to just add the stuff they want into Lemmy, either as default features or options that can be enabled per-user. Ideally I think we'd want the Lemmy web-ui to be good on it's own, not require a browser extension to suck less.
As another commenter noted, there's already a GitHub issue for some of the keyboard shortcut stuff you're interested in.
Shameless plug 😅 Recently made it, feel free to take a look!
Someone opened an issue for something like that awhile ago.
