Currently don't own a desktop, any chance someone converts the framework to be functional as a user script, we already have one that blocks instances.
https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/469297-block-lemmy-instances

Android users can install the user script using Firefox,

  1. Sign Up/In to your account & add all the necessary add-ons to the collection in it starting with the one already compatible with our browser otherwise, the list will be empty.
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/collections/
  2. Go to the Settings page, scroll down to the bottom.
  3. Tap on "About Firefox".
  4. Tap on the Firefox logo 5 times. It will display a message that says "Debug Menu enabled".
    If you go back to the Settings page, you'll notice that a new option is available under the Advanced section.
    It's called Custom Add-on Collections.
    Tap on it, and it will ask you to enter the collection owner's ID, and the collection's name.
    The ID is a unique 6-digit number that can be found in your add-on collection's URL.
    The name of course refers to the collection's name, unlike the number this is something that you can choose.
    For example,
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/collections/926754/ghacks/
    The ID for this collection is 926754 and the name is ghacks.

Using this method with Mull & Tampermonkey.

You may have a better luck asking for a script on this community: !plugins@sh.itjust.works

Otherwise I'm pretty sure you can use terminal emulator like Termux on Android. You should be able to install python and use all those commands just fine...
