It makes it easier to prioritize what I work on if I know someone's wanting a feature. What sort of stuff do you wish Alexandrite had? Especially talking about missing features from the main UI.

If you can, please provide some explanation for why you would like that feature and what problem it would solve for you (unless of course it's a feature that Lemmy has already but Alexandrite doesn't support yet). Knowing what problem you want solved helps me work with you to brainstorm ideas for the best solution (see the XY problem).

Do you mean a button that makes all the posts in your feed have their content expanded by default? Like the “Show Content” button does? Or only expand images and not link previews/text posts?

I originally only wanted to expand images but expand all content work too. But I like it as a button then a layout, some times I wanted to find a post I had browsed past, I could collapse all post and then try find it.

Or maybe a button at the end of a post to collapse that specific post, most of the buttons to interact with the post is at the start too. Some posts could be very long, I might not want to scroll past it again.

This work best for me when I browse page by page on reddit with res, because the button show all images is at the top of the page :))

I just tried this and it's nice, but when you scroll past a long post and then hit the "Hide Content", unless I make it scroll back up to the post you just collapsed, now the space the expanded post used to occupy is filled with more posts you might have scrolled past some. Not sure what's the best thing to do here.
