Plus, most creators now just embed ads in their videos anyways, so ad blockers don’t do anything for those, I just skip over them in my browser.

If you’re skipping those manually, may I introduce you to the magic of SponsorBlock?

Essentially, it’s an ad blocker for sponsor segments¹ in YouTube videos: it automates “let’s skip this part”. It’s not perfect because the segments to skip are crowd-sourced, but for videos that are fairly popular and not very recently uploaded it does a pretty good job.

¹: And other potentially undesirable parts, like non-music segments in music videos. You can configure the types of segments you want it to skip.

Once your Lemmy web frontend upgrades to version 0.18, the following should all auto-link with no extra syntax:

• !community@server.com
• /c/community@server.com
• /m/community@server.com
• /u/username@server.com

These should then all link to the instance you’re currently on.

Note: because this is implemented in the frontend and does not change the underlying data, other Fediverse clients will not show these the same unless they also implement this themselves.

I’m really missing RES keybindings
