Now that 4chan got a free lesson in cyber security, from wojak posters no less, anons have spread to alternative image boards. I have gotten requests for soyjak party, 8kun, holotower, and I was surprised to see that the vtuber board on 8chan became active. I also got a request to just support any board.
Sadly, support for all image boards is not as easy as it sounds. Despite all being image boards, those websites differ from 4chan and each other . 8kun for example, has all its scripts bundled in one file, so the "native extension" can't be blocked without breaking the captcha and thus making it impossible to post. 8kun and 8chan have their style selection behind their own option menu, so that has to be re-implemented if XT takes over everything. Each altchan has differences that makes it very hard to impossible for a single script to just work on them all.
Despite there being a list of altchans in the @include list, support for anything but the main 4chan was barely functional or tested. The code that handles support for different sites is also not documented, so I don't know how it works exactly. I tried adding support for 8chan in the past, but adding a new website to 4chan XT proved very difficult. I didn't even bother back to upload that branch back then, since it's only an unfinished experiment. I did now. It's named lynxChan, after the software 8chan uses, if you want to try implementing it yourself.
So XT running on multiple image boards is unlikely to happen soon.
I'm not sure what I will do in the future. Maybe I'll retry the 8chan experiment. Maybe I start a new script with functionality I personally use. That will not have the full feature set XT has.
