I imagine it should be prioritized though, along with some of the other malicious upload issue mitigation bugs.

Hear, hear. It doesn’t usually come back on upgrades for me, but every time I setup on a new device it is annoying to have to remove.

Depends on what the motivation is. There are fiscal conservatives that think it is a responsible thing to do and then there are the fiscal conservatives trying to pull the ladder up behind them. Fuck the latter. Agree to disagree with the former.

That’s the same thing to me. Parents and teachers failed to educate them in how to be curious.

Like…a set of bookmarks? I mean, if you really want an extension, thats fine, but it seems like both browsers have these features pretty well solved.

check out my comment below. you can do the same thing for whatever instance with a very simple setup.

You can do this for any instance without an extension with a custom search engine (on chrome) or bookmark keyword (on firefox)

Firefox:

1. Create bookmark and add a keyword of “c” and replace the sublemmy name with “%s” in the url.

2. In url bar, type “c”, then space, then the sublemmy name and enter -> goes to sublemmy

Chrome:

1. Go to settings and find the search engines, select “Add”

2. Define like this and replace the sublemmy name with “%s” in the url.

3. From the omnibar, type “c” then space or tab, then the sublemmy, then enter -> goes to sublemmy

Probably would work to seed small communities with subreddit data, but…the maxim of “the real LPT is always in the comments” holds true (i.e. posts without comments is not what these places are about) and until users come and interact, this isn’t a substitute for being a real community.

Def a decent idea to jumpstart communities, as long as people aren’t too put off by the post data coming from reddit.
