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.
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.

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

Ahem. BAH HAHA HAH HAHAH! deep breath BAH HAHAHAHAH!
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.
