I honestly think this is a good idea. From what I understand it’s just making it easy to share the same link from reddit without having to copypaste a bunch of stuff, right? It’s like reading an RSS feed or stumbling upon a cool thing you want to share and having an easy way to do so.
Don’t worry about the naysayers. There are always a bunch of purists around that believe the world can be divided into black and white.
Lemmy-users won’t be able to tell the difference between somebody who found a link and shared it by copy pasting or someone using the extension🤷 Good content is everywhere and where you found it shouldn’t matter.
Put the source up on codeberg, publish the extension, and let people decide for themselves if they want to use it or not.
Good luck
Let’s say there’s a group of people in your hometown who like dogs. They will talk about dog thing this, dog thing that, probably something local. Now you travel to another town and they too have a group that likes dogs. They will talk about dog things too, but probably it’ll be different dog things that are also specific to their location.
You have the option to join both dog communities without physically traveling from one town to another. You can even choose not to join a dog group in another town that only like to talk about dog fighting for example.
There is no “tech savvy” required here. You signed up in a town that has communities there, you can see communities from other towns, and you can choose to join them all, some, or none. It’s up to you.
