    Lemmy support would be much more fitting for Mozilla. They could add plugin or lemmy integration to their browser that could show discussions from subscribed communities matching the current url.

    Effectively acting as a “comment section” but for any page. One would only need lemmy account to comment on youtube videos, news articles, blogs etc.

      I didn’t want to rain on your parade, but:

      • Firefox has hundreds of millions of users.
      • Lemmy has less than half a million total users, and YTD MAU peaked at 52k.

      Even putting aside technical details, I fail to see how “Lemmy integration in the browser” could be a good product strategy. A plugin/extension can also be developed by independent developers, which seems much more fitting for the size of the target demographic. Maybe I’m missing something.

    Sigh, so is Mozilla just like Google now? Can’t trust any services to stick around?

    I didn’t use it but the lack of an explanation is a frustrating response. Give feedback to the feedback??

      They’re a small indie company and they need the server power to run the AI in Firefox
