Lemmy Universal Link Switcher
greasyfork.org
Ensures that all URLs to Lemmy instances always point to your main/home instance.

This script transforms links from other instances to your home instance. So useful :)

As @[email protected] explained:

It makes it so that if you visit another instance using their URL, it will redirect you to your home version’s federated link.

E.g. if your home server is Lemmy.world, let’s say you find a link to Lemmy on another website but it’s a link to Lemmy.ml. If you click the link, you won’t be signed in.

So like: https://lemmy.ml/c/memes would redirect to https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]

This way you can seamlessly use Lemmy.

It does the same for posts.

Edit: since it works from any site, I highly recommend you to add it to your Android browser so it will work with webapp clients here’s how:

You can use violentMonkey on ff browser too, but you need to unlock Dev options, then do this

    The native Jerboa app does not use any JavaScript. The code is not and can not be compatible. The “algorithm” I use is like 10 lines of code, I wrote the base of it in like 1 hour. Most of the rest of the code is solely about handling the weirdness of browsers and having it work in all kinds of different websites, all of which jerboa wouldn’t care about.

    I could probably implement the feature in jerboa in 3-4 hours, depending on how easy it is to get into the Android app ecosystem. But I don’t use jerboa and don’t care much about it, so I won’t, unless somebody wants to pay me which I don’t think is happening.

    If you had made this comment from the start, I could have responded like I did now. As it were, I saw someone talking about some random app I didn’t care about. I didn’t have the context that was in your head, that you only now supplied in this comment.

      Yes don’t get me wrong, like its a cool feature, but I am very well aware that it’s neither complex nor a lot of work, but it has to start somewhere. I was just trying to encourage pushing good features to the whole platform. But I got you, you internalized the idea behind FOSS, decentralized digital infrastructure structure owned by people not big corp, you want to be paid for your 10 line “algorithm”.It’s OK.
