I like Lemmy a lot, and I liked Reddit before. I never really liked Twitter, just followed some NASA accounts that told what certain probes/landers/rovers were doing. I'm interested in Mastodon because federated platforms seem to sustainably fill the gap the big 5 are trying to enlarge. What kind of content are you guys getting from there?
Lemmy was kind of jarring at first, but extensions like the universal link switcher help a lot. Any stuff like that to help onboarding Mastodon? Thx folks.

Any questions/requests direct here please :D
Good job on the script :) you should put a link to it in your lemmy bio so people know it's you
That's a really cool script. Does it work for posts/comments that haven't federated to your instance yet?
Unfortunately not directly. However, the request it makes will trigger federation if it wasn't already triggered, so using it sometimes makes federation happen which will make it work for future users/your later self.
