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! 🚀

I notice vim keys also work (for scrolling at least.)
