I always used old.reddit.com with RES on my desktop. I’ve started using old.lemmy.world now, and I love the familiarity, but I realize how much I miss RES. I wish there was something for the old.lemmy.world that offered the same enhancements.
As a former user of old.reddit.com and RES, I’ve found the Alexandrite front end (a.Lemmy.world) to be very comfortable. Its not feature-for-feature equivalent to RES, but a lot of the ergonomics are there.
Now, if we could just figure out multilemmies…
Agreed. The only thing really keeping Alexandrite from a 10/10 for me is the inability to set the default comment sort to top, new, etc). It’s a minor gripe but it’s frustrating all the same.
Depending on your instance I think you can set that at the account level. I was able to set my default home page and sort on Lemmy.world
Not just lemmy.world. Alexandrite will do many different instances at its main site alexandrite.app
There is the LemmyTools. New features are added with each new release.
Also !instance_assistant@lemmy.ca
Some Lemmy Tools are being added by the devs there
Thanks, I’ll look into it!
It’s not all wrapped up in a complete package, but there’s some userscripts on !plugins@sh.itjust.works
(Full disclosure, I wrote a simple one to customise the community bar at the top and posted it there)
Thanks for pointing me to that community. I subscribed.

The reason reddit enhancement suite existed was because the developers couldn’t fix reddit. Lemmy is open source, the frontends are open source. You and anyone else who wants to can fix it.
There is no need for an extension.

Well, anyone else, but not me! I know next to nothing - no wait, I know actual nothing - about coding.

what features do you miss?

There shouldn’t be, but that doesn’t mean it cannot be enhanced. Hopefully a popular feature from an extension can become integrated into official web clients.

I just want locally stored user tagging like RES had which isn’t something you’d want the site to manage.
