Other random ideas:
- Federation health monitor? Checks if posts are federating well.
- Activity summariser: eg shows how many posts/comments in selected communities since last visited.
- EDIT: I’m thinking of Phanpy’s catch-up feature here (it’s a web app for microblogging platforms and easily one of the best social media clients there is … if you haven’t seen the catchup feature go check it out).
- link localiser? Probably better in the backend (as suggested already). But it intercepts links to posts/comments and provides links to the local versions.

This dashboard is quite useful: https://grafana.lem.rocks/d/cdfzs0dwal3pca/federation-health-time-behind?orgId=1&var-instance=lemmy.world&var-remote_software=All&from=now-12h&to=now&var-remote_instance=lemmy.ml&var-remote_instance=reddthat.com&var-remote_instance=lemdro.id
Federation health monitor? Checks if posts are federating well
omg yes please. I dunno what’s going on with lemmy.world but it’s clearly not healthy right now and it’d be handy to have something to point to.

90% of the time yes, please. But an easy way to override it is also very worth having, especially in cases where federation is having problems.
