What's this?

It's a RES-like browser extension that enables keyboard navigation, meaning you will no longer have to use your mouse to navigate Lemmy if want to use it for accessibility purposes or if you're lazy like myself 😌

Why YSK:

If you miss RES and have Chrome/Firefox/Opera/Edge (Safari still not supported) you can give it a spin and see if it makes your life easier.

Hope this is helpful and enjoy! 🚀

One of my favorite things about Lemmy is how everyone uses *GPL licenses for their code. Y'all rock! ❤️

Does this come with a quick key for hiding a thread?

The only thing I miss from that other site / RES is being able to scroll by just hitting H, H, H etc for 'hide', stopping to actually enter a thread, or skip it to read later.

The benefit being that I'd hop on a couple hours later, and those posts would still be hidden.

With Lemmy, I see a LOT of the same threads. Some of its because of reposts to different communities, but a lot of it's because the stuff I already sifted through is still lingering the next time I hop on.

If I’m browsing lemmy on desktop, I refuse to use anything other than alexandrite.app

Adding a comment so people can experiment more in this thread.

There's a bunch of cli clients though, without the overhead of a browser.

Not to say it wouldnt be useful for some people.

Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:

**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.
