There are a couple of browser extensions for the other place that show you what subreddits a given URL are posted to. If you're looking for discussion about a current link/page/site, it's very handy. Also, if you're submitting links, it's helpful to show where a given link has already been submitted and when.

Searching Lemmy instances can be daunting. An extension like this would be amazing.

c/MurdochAliveCheck takes a Fair and Balanced look at Rupert Murdoch's alive status and whether he still has his thumb on democracy, trying to erase it from the page.

u/MurdochAliveCheckBot will check periodically and report its findings to the subreddit. View the inner workings of the bot here. (I will be moving this off reddit asap.)

Community members are encouraged to add their own link or text posts with relevant updates or their own thoughts and feelings about Rupert Murdoch and his evil media empire.

Joke writers for the bot will be given mod status. Please message me if you have ideas for things for the bot to say.

Please join the community and contribute if so inclined! Thank you.

Read all about it at the above link. There's way too much to process here. This is going to be wild.

I'm using this to help populate my own instance and I'm having to trigger a search for communities I haven't pulled down before. But when I click 'trigger a search', the search bar is populating wrong. This is what I see:

If I edit the first instance of the name out, the search works fine, but this seems like a bug.

Over on another website with a similar browser extension, there was a "l+c" button that you could click on a link post to open two tabs, one for the link and one for the comment section. Something like that would be nice, I used it all the time. One other aspect of that feature was that both new tabs opened out of focus. So I could go down a page and open up a lot of tabs and then go and read all of them in sequence.
