This script transforms links from other instances to your home instance. So useful :)
As @MedicareForSome@lemmy.ml 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/memes@lemmy.ml
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
Author here, any questions or issues can be directed to me :)
And yes, I’m doing it for the luls
Tnx for your great work!
How does it detect that a link is a lemmy link? Also, does this work on any website or just lemmy? Can it also handle things like opening a link from an app outside of the browser?
You should look at the link this post points to, the description of the script answers 2/3 :D
How it find posts tho?
How do we get this into lemour?
I don’t know what that is and I can’t seem to find any relevant information doing a web search
Oh yeah sorry it’s called Jebora
I see. I think there are already efforts towards that. This is mainly supposed to be for the browser and not my domain.
And honestly, I don’t really get why you’d need an app if the official web UI works perfectly well on a mobile browser :)
I think there are even more reasons.
What do you mean? I wanted it in an app, not domain spicific.
You’re in a thread about me answering questions for a browser extension, asking about a mobile app. I think it’s more appropriate to ask: what do you mean? I have nothing to do with a mobile app.
But its obviously a great functionality. We could think of setting it up as a proper library with good interfaces so you could just pull it into your code.
In the end we are making open source software to improve the platform, so you could also submit your algorithm to the projects.
I’m sorry I thought this thread is about asking questions and having a discussion about the feature and your code
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.
Yeah, I just wish sopuli’s webapp wouldn’t crash on me immediately. It’s just feels a bit different when not full screened ^^
That’s weird, what browser do you have? I use Firefox for Android and everything is full screen and no crashes.
Mull. Other instances’ webapps works fine as I stated here. Maybe the admin editted something that broke it? Idk
No website should ever crash a browser. It could be some weird things happening on sopuli.xyz but I would take this up with the browser developer, it looks more like a fault of the browser than the website, especially as everything works in other browsers.
