What’s this?
It’s a new UserScript (typically installed with browser extensions such as Tampermonkey/Violentmonkey/Greasomonkey) which enables keyboard arrow navigation, meaning you will no longer have to use your mouse to navigate Lemmy if you’re lazy like myself 😌
Why YSK:
For some people like me, this could be the turning point to actually start using Lemmy (few but still!). I loved Lemmy and the only thing I disliked was being unable to navigate it with a keyboard like I used to do with Reddit/RES so I created one :)
Hope this is helpful and enjoy! 🚀

Oh yeah, I’m just saying that j/k is pretty widely used.
Also, I think it’s more comfortable because they’re on the home row whereas the cursor keys aren’t. Configurability is always good though.
