This is really challenging thing to do without any client-side JS. It would require downloading media (not just little thumbnails) of every post in the current subreddit view. I might make a feature where people can enable (disabled by default) certain features from the preferences which enables them to use features like this which require client-side JS.

Thanks for making this!
Is there any way for a browser plugin to use client-side JS without the site using it? I know this might be a stupid question, but I know very little of extension and frontend development.
That aside, if it isn't too much work to add or support RES features, I would love it and totally use teddit. I (and perhaps some other people here) would even be willing to throw a few bucks your way to help with development/server costs if you open up a donation page.

Having given teddit a go this would probably be a must-have for me. I'm by no means an anti-javascript absolutist though.

I feel exactly the same. After they butchered m.reddit this seems like a viable alternative for mobile, but is just missing the ability to enlarge images/video without opening the post for me. Happy to open comments etc in a new tab ofc
I think I'm one of many people who spends most of their time lurking anyway.
Might still give it a go...if I wouldn't browse reddit as much with the added friction of opening links to view posts, maybe I shouldn't browse reddit as much anyway.
