It's seems right that we should have a local community to help us all with PieFed

Wow, very cool.
I've made https://piefed.social/communities faster to use now - clicking on the join and leave buttons doesn't reload the page.
Very nice.
But my above solution wouldn't work now, as it would just click leave and join over and over again, leaving and joining the same community. I would have to change the scroll position after each click now.
But apart from my weird solution not working anymore, I think it's a good enhancement for PieFed in general.
From the docs at https://maxautoclicker.blogspot.com/ (which I had to read using 12ft.io due to the ads redirecting otherwise) it seems that this tool supports updating the mouse position as well,
Thus it shouldn't be too hard to set up the required scrolling if someone in the future is still interested in trying this out...
I've done similar things in the past, though my go-to is xdotool - https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man1/xdotool.1.html - since in addition to simulating the mouse it can also simulate the right keyboard presses.
