Hi everyone!

On the surface, this update brings a handful of features integrating the extension with other tools and services. We have the first of many features from the LemmyTools userscript, as well as the support for Alexandrite and Photon frontends. You can also directly search for communities through Lemmyverse.net and for posts through search-lemmy.com, among other small changes.

The biggest change was behind the scenes. I've completely refactored the code throughout the extension. Now that we have a clearer plan for the extension, I simplified all around, such as consolidating most functions to a central utils.js file. I also reworked the settings, and unfortunately this means you may have to add your home instance again. Moving forwards, it should be a lot easier to maintain the extension and for people to collaborate, which brings me to:

  • This looks interesting. I'd definitely use it if I used Lemmy on PC.

    Also about that Reddit migrator thingy, couldn't you use sub.rehab instead of lemmyverse.net? Some communities have different names than their Reddit counterparts, so this could be useful to find them, and it also shows which communities were verified by the mods of the original subreddit.

    • Yes it might be nice to use both, with sub.rehab as the first "official" replacement and then lemmyverse for alternate suggestions.

      Looks like the JSON file is available so it should be easy enough to implement: https://sub.rehab/faq/
