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.

    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.
