Great idea. On it.
I voted for “Artemis” but YMMV…
Fully agree with every word.
You can see them all here: https://fedidb.org/ mid way down on the left.
Can you describe to me how after the plugin is active, it should work for a Firefox user with a Kbin account browsing a Lemmy site? Is there any visual difference after the plugin is working? Or just links now go to your local Kbin server?
I could be very wrong, but FediDB is the source of this bot, and the developer there thinks that the Stats number at the footer of Kbin includes remote followers from the Fediverse, but the number he gets from the API counts local users. Would love someone who knows the tech of how Kbin defines stats on the lower footer to confirm.
In the mastodon space, folks are figuring out this exact same issue. For that space my team wrote about 100 lines of javascript code that made it far better. If you click on a remote link, it asks you ONCE what your home server is. And after that the JS automatically writes all URL’s to funnel you back to your home server to interact with them. Can share that if folks want maybe it could be adapted.
BTW, love the term “Threadiverse.”
Very saddened to see.
