Lemmy.ml: Any addons like Stylus for websites styles, that can automatically backup files on my device? (lemmy.world)

Edit: I want to automatically export my themes because I've lost themes in the past on Firefox when addon data would unexpectedly get wiped.

I did some searches but it appears that addons like Stylus only support syncing with cloud storage.

Your “hostname.net: Question?” gimmick is annoying and dumb. Not every subscriber of a given community is a user account on that community’s instance. You’re not going to get increased engagement with this transparent ploy.

I've received complaints about spamming posts so I added the instance names in the titles. I thought there's no harm in posting crossposting, I know Lemmy is federated but I want to ensure they show up instead of hoping for automatic feed algorithm to show them when it may or may not.

IDK why I so much flak. If any here downvotes my posts or this comment please respond below with your thoughts to help me figure out how to move forward.

Because Lemmy is still relatively small, and because a lot of people view by “All” or “Local”, if you crosspost to many communities, your posts will dominate people’s frontpage, and they will downvote you.

What I find works well is to not post to more than two communities—three at the very most, and that those communities be on different instances.
