    userscripts are great for proof of concept to show off and let people test it. However, can userscripts work across so many domains that lemmy instances are on? Maybe a list of domains has to be maintained in the userscript?

    Any particular things you thought you might fix with userscripts?

      Good points there.

      Maybe this has some issues I hadnt thought about yet. I was thinking, in comments, certain Lemmy links should be rewritten so you load them on your own instance and can actually interact.

      Like if a link is ‘[email protected]’, rewrite it to ‘usersinstance.tld/c/[email protected]’ However, I guess if a community hasn’t been discovered by that instance yet it would 404.

      Obviously I haven’t looked at the source or even activity pub spec so just thinking blindly.
