Yo FIrefox just accepted my extension which makes interaction with other lemmy instances easier.
Chrome still tbc but Google should’ve accepted it by this time next week methinks.

It adds a small icon to other instances so that you can easily open it in your own lemmy instance for interaction etc.
It’s simple, rough and ready but super useful, just input your lemmy instance in settings and then enable it for all sites or just the lemmy sites you want and hey presto.
Open for ideas, collaboration and feedback as always :)
Have you considered modifying this to be a pull-request for lemmy-ui? It’s cool to have an extension, but Lemmy being open-source makes it possible to merge the improvement upstream and make it better for everyone.
There’s a few of these popping up. Maybe you guys can work together.
https://lemmy.redkrieg.com/post/10160Thanks for the link!
It would be cool to merge these plus this one that does link formatting into one threadiverse super extension.
Hey that’s me!
And then make it a pull request on the front end’s repo!
Would it be possible to port to Firefox for Android?
I’ve not tested it so I didn’t enable it for android but I don’t see why it wouldn’t to be honest. It’s getting late here now so I’ll have a play tomorrow :)

Did not know this! Thanks for the tip!
Had the same idea but you were quicker, will try it out!
dude lets work together a build something cool! I’m happy to set up a separate repo etc :D
Thank you, this is exactly what I needed!
Looks like the Firefox extension has been pulled which is a bummer.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/lemmy-link/ hey man it’s still here
Nice! I’m excited to try it out. I must have caught it at a bad time last night.
I’m mobile only but I’m damn impressed anyway! That seemed fast!
Wow such a nice quality of life change!
This. This shit right here man. I love it.
Awesome, thanks! Definitely going to give it a try tomorrow.
Edit: Seems to work good so far, it’s just what I wanted - something minimal and easy for viewing on the instance I’m using. Beats the quick little bookmarklet I made which was only good for specific pages.
This is exactly what I was looking for! I’ll give it a try later
This is really cool. Nice work dude.

This post initially had a series of examples to explain this. But I can’t seem to add them. You can see them in the comment here: https://lemmy.world/comment/205763
I think that will help explain what is going on. Let me know if it helps!
I was just wishing for something like this also. The copy/paste/search/subscribe process is quite painful, and this gets past a lot of that. I’ll give it a try right now (just set my instance up today) and try to contribute if I think of anything good.
