Often, its asked what the fediverse or lemmy needs more of in terms of content, but are there any specific features or functionality you really feel are lacking?

    I love the Old Lemmy webiste, I wish there was a way to incorporate a RES type of extension for Lemmy

      I mean, it’s doable now, but I think that the limiting factor is just the userbase. More developers using the platform, more people interested in writing code for browser extensions.

      There is a lemmy/kbin assistant extension for Firefox, which is far, far more basic than RES, but provides one critical feature that I regularly use – being able to view a post on one’s home instance. So people have done work on these.

      Also, if by “Old Lemmy”, you mean mlmym, that’s not merely a website. It’s an alternate Web UI that instances can run alongside the regular one. My home instance does so at https://old.lemmy.today/
