Lemmy is a bit too niche and also it's open source so if someone has a big enough issue to develop a whole extension for it, they may as well just make those changes directly to Lemmy.
Have you looked at alternative Lemmy interfaces? Your instance hosts a few. https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/lemmy/for-users/alternative-uis
https://old.lemmy.ca/ seems to be down but you can check https://old.thelemmy.club/ if you want to see what MLMYM is like.
The other interfaces look pretty neat! Although, now that I think about it, is there a way to convert Lemmy links posted by people from a different instance to your home instance? I was trying out the Photon interface until I saw someone link a post from their home instance, and clicking on it brought me off Lemmy.ca entirely.
Photon should automatically localize compatible post links, what link was it by chance?
Good question. I tried to find that comment again but can't seem to find it anymore. I'll report back if I bump into another Lemmy link that's from outside my home instance that doesn't get localized.
