Other random ideas:

  • Federation health monitor? Checks if posts are federating well.
  • Activity summariser: eg shows how many posts/comments in selected communities since last visited.
    • EDIT: I’m thinking of Phanpy’s catch-up feature here (it’s a web app for microblogging platforms and easily one of the best social media clients there is … if you haven’t seen the catchup feature go check it out).
  • link localiser? Probably better in the backend (as suggested already). But it intercepts links to posts/comments and provides links to the local versions.

omg yes please. I dunno what's going on with lemmy.world but it's clearly not healthy right now and it'd be handy to have something to point to.

90% of the time yes, please. But an easy way to override it is also very worth having, especially in cases where federation is having problems.
