    A plugin that just checks to see if Lemmy has any posts pointing to the current URL would be pretty nice. So I can go and get secondary opinions if I want.

    Not sure how much stress that would put on servers though. I guess probably not that much if searches can just be exact matches on URLs.

      wouldn’t be much stress really.

      I’m currently building something with fediverse integration so this is a great idea and something i’ll look into. Basically you would be logged into an instance (lemmy.world) and if you’re navigating a to a site or even an RSS feed you could see if there’s any relevant links to said article/story/whatever back to lemmy.

      right now I have a feed built that allows you to log into all your instances (mastodon, lemmy, peertube, etc) and displays all the content you’re subscribed to in a single feed. So adding in what you’ve suggested would be a great feature.

      I’d love this. Maybe a filter for subscribed communitied but otherwise sounds like a great way to interact with a community around articles

      I use an extension that replaces YouTube comments with Reddit comments, if the video was posted anywhere on Reddit.

      Would be nice to have a Lemmy version.
