Plugins for fediverse platforms.

Where is this up to? Is anyone thinking along these lines?

I've seen @db0 espouse such (eg https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/8581651) (sorry for the tag if annoying).

I've certainly thought of it myself ... because it's a pretty obvious idea for an ecosystem aiming for richness and sustainability.

Seems a perfect fit for reusable moderation tooling too, rather than each new platforms having that trouble.

This is essentially #bluesky 's idea it seems.

Plugin a thing in so many software, from firefox, to wordpress, to godot engine, to unity engine to whatever else. I doubt it's something extraordinary to pull off

Yes, and they all have very deliberate APIs to make that possible. I'm sure it can be done, but I don't think it'll be merged into Lemmy with how overworked the devs already are.

But don't feel too discouraged, I'm sure the community will welcome your contributions if you can design a good API and build a proof of concept!
