what's the biggest downgrade you had to ensure so far, and how are you holding up? (lemm.ee)

If you want to talk about going from Reddit to Lemmy, probably lack of infinite scrolling, so I went ahead and made a Firefox addon called Lemmy Infinite Scroller. It's 11 lines of code. It's literally an addEventListener for the scroll event. Apparently it can take up to 3 weeks for it to be approved and end up in the Firefox Add-ons store, so I won't link it here, but it's coming.

Why coding yourself a corporate practice that encouraged addition? Why you felt we were lacking that stuff?

It's a feature that makes the website more convenient for me to use. I like to work on software I know I will use myself, and then I share it with the rest of the world in case somebody else wants to use it too.

I'm sure Lemmy will get optional infinite scrolling implemented, but it was a fun afternoon project (started out as a quick 30 minute thing before the race conditions) the day before starting my new remote dev job.

I think more options and user choice is a good thing.

I did an 10-minute PowerShell project at work the other day, 4 hours later...

But addition is such a positive thing.

It certainly doesn't subtract from the experience, that's for sure.
