Let’s face it, Reddit’s probably never going to return to what it once was. Most of the subs that haven’t either died or changed their rules are run by "power-mods" that "moderate" well over what someone can manage.

r/Scholar was one of my favourite subs. One of the reasons I was able to contribute so much to that sub was because I made a program that scanned the sub and made a list of the open requests, detecting those that were available on LibGen or SciHub. I had another program that automatically uploaded it to a file hosting platform, made a mirror to LibGen, and commented on the post in question.

With Reddit’s API change, that “bot” (I wouldn’t call it a bot per se, as it had to be run manually) will stop working, it’d take too long to scan the posts to be usable given the new restrictions on the rate limiting of the API. If this community gains traction (and if I have free time to code), I’ll port those programs to work with the Lemmy API.

Although this community is not affiliated with r/Scholar, if the mods there want to port r/Scholar to here and help me moderate, I’ll welcome them with open arms. The more, the merrier.

Thank you for reading my rant/introduction to this community.

I've assigned domain names using a custom TLD to my home servers for ease of access.

When I put, say proxmox.server, in my address bar, it searches the web. To avoid that behavior, I have to specify http://proxmox.server.

I want Firefox to recognize .server as a valid TLD. I've searched the web to no avail, so that's why I'm writing this.

I came across this post in Stack Exchange, but the method described (ie, network.IDN.whitelist.server) doesn't work.

Does anybody know how can I add a custom domain to Firefox?

EDIT:

@jamesw@beehaw.org pointed out that there is a way to add nonstandard TLDs to Firefox: browser.fixup.domainwhitelist.yourdomain.yoursuffix.

It works, but a FQDN (with the imaginary TLD) is needed, that means it's not possible to whitelist all domains under a custom TLD. You need to add one entry per domain, that is: whitelist server1.mystuff, whitelist server2.mystuff, and so on.
