improve the title-fetch functionality so it works with more sites (twitter and bitchute are problematic) and even maybe make it so it does it automatically,

Good news! I just finished implementing this feature for you guys.

Now when you paste in a URL for a post, and then click out of the URL field, it will auto-fill in a title if there's nothing there. If there is something already in the title box, then you can hit "suggest title" to make a new title, like usual.

So now it's automatic! I'm going to try and improve the actual fetching functionality now.

Thanks for the suggestion. Of course the top-voted thing is something that's not even on the to-do list yet... haha.

I agree the title fetching can sometimes be spotty. I'll look in to improving it.
