his original message:
For those that use Tampermonkey or GreaseMonkey, here’s a quick script I whipped up that creates a button that redirects communities from other instances to your local instance. If your instance isn’t
lemmy.world
, then change thelocalLemmy
var at the top. Enjoy!
My small fix:
For personal use, I changed localLemmy to sh.itjust.works
because that’s my instance. I also embedded some styles and made it so it’s top right instead of bottom left, and so that it’s red and works better for me. Soy’s original code didn’t work for me so I had to make these small alterations to get it working.
// ==UserScript==
// @name Lemmings Fix
// @version 1.0

const localLemmy = "sh.itjust.works";
var isLemmy =
document.head.querySelector("[name~=Description][content]").content ===
"Lemmy";
if (isLemmy) {
// Get URL info
var splitUrl = location.href.split("/");
var instanceUrl = splitUrl[2];
var community = splitUrl[4];
var localizedUrl =
"https://" + localLemmy + "/c/" + community + "@" + instanceUrl;
// Create redirect button if not on local
if (instanceUrl !== localLemmy) {
var zNode = document.createElement("div");
zNode.innerHTML = "Open in local instance";
zNode.setAttribute("id", "localizeContainer");
// add styles to the button embedded
zNode.setAttribute(
"style",
"cursor: pointer; padding: 16px; background-color: red; border-radius: 10%; border-width: 3px; border-style: solid; padding: 3px; z-index: 10;max-width:200px;position:fixed;top:0;right:0;"
);
zNode.addEventListener("click", onLocalize);
document.body.appendChild(zNode);
}
}
function onLocalize() {
window.location.replace(localizedUrl);
}
Hahah, not the most respectful thing to do but that’s okay c: glad you got it working the way you wanted.
Oh I didn’t even consider that it might be disrespectful, I just wanted it to blend in :(. I was trying to get it to be an icon on the navbar, but I couldn’t figure out how to make it not snap to a corner lol.
I do browse other instances a lot by visiting their homepage, so I’m not totally missing the logos.
That’s all good 😎 just browse to your own liking! Nothing matters, god is dead, morality is a spook, Epstein killed himself and Santa killed all the elves
