I can't believe how fast this addon was developed into something that is super useful.

A month ago I made a list of all the available addons to address this need. There were I think 4-5 of them and I actually didn't end up using any of them because they were too simple and didn't add much for my usecase.

In the intervening days (days!) this project has really fleshed out. I am impressed that you've managed to make an interface that makes sense. I wasn't sure if that would be possible because it is kind of an inherently complex situation.

And on top of that, it works. There are issues with federation which are network wide and not much you can do about that. But as much as the threadiverse is willing to cooperate, this addon smooths the experience.

Thanks, I really appreciate this.

Thank you, I really appreciate it!😊 The feedback I got from everyone really helped me figure out what things needed working on, and how people were using Lemmy/Kbin.

I've definitely had to rework the terminology a little bit to try and find an analogy that worked. The 'home' instance / 'foreign' instance was one that worked well, so that's what we've stuck with.
