I’ve been annoyed by the “copy [email protected] to your instance’s search” aspect of joining new communities. To make this more streamlined I created this extension to add a “Search on [myhomeinstance]” button on community pages. It’s currently submitted for approval in the chrome web store, which could take a few days, but you should be able to install it as an unpacked extension in developer mode today. Please let me know what you think and if you have any suggestions.
Hey I have one but for kbin
Can you describe to me how after the plugin is active, it should work for a Firefox user with a Kbin account browsing a Lemmy site? Is there any visual difference after the plugin is working? Or just links now go to your local Kbin server?
It should be a difference, a little kbin icon appears on mentions of lemmy communities like “! [email protected]”
Edit: I didn’t expect for people to use it so soon, I will give you more information in a bit when I get to my pc
Edit 2: This is what you should see on “[email protected]” type mentions. Is not working on kbin.social due to a bug but I will fix that very soon.
I’d love to combine efforts to make these work for as many people as possible in the fediverse.
Dude I’m so down for this too, I tweaked the kbin-link to work for lemmy, we should message the person see if he’s interested in joining up efforts - even if they are not I certainly am!

What’s the best way to message you also? Let’s get some dialog going and see if we can suss some cool stuff out
Thanks for making this. It was working well, but I had to disable it because Firefox was giving me little warnings that it was slowing down pages. It was actually making some other sites freeze, even when I didn’t have any lemmy pages open. I would have put this in a github issue, but the issues tab isn’t enabled.
I don’t know if you are talking about me! But if so, then yes!
I’m reachable here, @matrix.org, @gmail.com, and on libera.chat
with the modifications I made to kbin link it also works for lemmy, I don’t mind to combine efforts and have one repo for an extension. Just let me know

Based on the two open issues, it could be made cross compatible pretty easily.
Edit: seems his is slightly different, more for formatting links within posts.
bada bing bada boom here’s one I made earlier :D https://addons.mozilla.org/en/firefox/addon/lemmy-link https://lemmy.world/post/141225
That’s amazing!, so cool to see that little project be useful for others
Yes, I will update it in a bit, it improves performance a little
