I agree, instance assistant (our extension actually!) handles this, but it would be much better to have it exist natively.
I've been working on the !instance_assistant@lemmy.ca extension :)
RES initially helped me get into Reddit, so hopefully this helps people get into Lemmy as well
You could try from this

Ideally try for a smaller size, else it takes time to load and wastes people's data
Sounds good! This was my first dive into browser extensions as well. It's not too bad once you go over the basics. If you give it a try, see the contributing page on the repo's wiki for some resources on how to get started with browser extensions.
A super short summary is:
- manifest.json is the entry point, it links to HTML files (which represent things like the popup, sidebar) and scripts (which do most of the work)
- the background script runs all the time (see background.js), and the content scripts run on specific pages (ex. There's one for Lemmy community pages, one for error pages)
If you DO give it a try, we were part way through migrating features from the LemmyTools userscript and that might be a good place to start. I wasn't familiar with userscripts so I didn't make much progress, and can't get back to it for a little while. The issues page of the repo should have LemmyTools related features tagged. If any details are missing, let me know and I'll add them in :)
I personally find a lack of downvotes to be annoying and harmful. People don't go through the trouble of reporting problem content, and it usually leads to poor quality inflammatory content rising to the top.
If you're new and haven't really set up yet, explore other instances. You can find one that aligns with what you want out of Lemmy without jumping through hoops.
If you have set up, there are account migration tools for you. They just aren't perfect yet
Sorry to those that have already seen this. I'm trying to space out the posts so it's not in a large clump in your feeds. People have different subscription lists, so I'm trying to reach those that haven't seen it yet.
These are the last 4 posts :)

From what I've experienced with my extension, every update has to go through a review process. Firefox is pretty fast, chrome takes a few days and edge takes a while (opera hasn't finished reviewing my first version, so I stopped trying with them).
The only time I failed a review was early on when my build script choked and I submitted an empty file to Chrome (whoops). So I can't really tell how good those reviews are, but I'm not planning on testing them. I just know that they exist

Could you give an example of what this looks like? I'm sure I'll have friends sending me similar articles / YouTube videos. Would be nice to have a simple and accurate analogy
Ah I must have gotten it confused with the lifetime ultra, which was $100
That t-shirt would be cool, but don't have time to properly test our extension before then
I'm looking forward to December when I'll have time to work on it. I'll try to attend some office hours, I didn't know that was an option
