Given how quickly Beehaw reacted to external users, it's becoming more important for users to know "where" they are engaging with content, meaning "where the content was federate in from".

Lemmy mostly has this handled in the UI but kbin still needs some time. Additionally, while the QOL plugin does show domain suffixes it's not a super strong reminder that you are engaging with federated users/comments/articles. This script colorizes based on "threat level" or strictness of the moderators of the federated server.

compatible with the excellent QOL updates tampermonkey script by https://kbin.social/u/SirPsychoMantis, as well as the other 2 scripts I've previously written

I changed the script a little bit more to use a class instead, but I've modified my class style to the original lookup style. Should work.

// And highlight to right of article/comment and changed green to blue.
GM_addStyle('[data-is-strictly-moderated="true"] { box-shadow:1px 0 0 #ff0000, 2px 0 0 #ff0000, 3px 0 0 #c80000, 4px 0 0 #960000, 5px 0 0 #640000; }');
GM_addStyle('[data-is-federated-content="true"] { box-shadow:1px 0 0 #009bff, 2px 0 0 #009bff, 3px 0 0 #0064fa, 4px 0 0 #0032c8, 5px 0 0 #000096; }');

Thanks for the heads-up!

That's nice too. The only thing I'd suggest is having the px as negatives, but that's because I actually didn't think it was working for a bit since I tend to read the left side and totally missed the highlights on the right.
Edit - I just realized that while this point is true on feeds, once you get into the comments putting those colors on the left side would mess up the coloring that shows a tree of comments since that's also on that side. So the fed colors really need to go on the other three sides to be compatible.

A preference setting for this (in the future) could have a huge number of styles to pick from. Some people may even prefer the original simple background color.

I don't want to hijack @CodingAndCoffee 's thread, but... look here. And if you choose to use that, check your options menu out. Though, I only allow it on the left side for articles in the options because I don't like overwriting the waterfall on the left (probably one of my extensions if you don't know what I'm talking about).

Tried the code out. It's working as far as the fed stuff like the original (that I can tell) but I don't see the additional stuff anywhere that your header insert should be pulling up, if I understand the coding intent. Nothing is new on the sidebar with other script options. Best guess is like other issues I've run into it's a Firefox thing.

Weird - I'm using LibreWolf, for all intents and purposes - Firefox. Example

Since I saw it in the screenshot, I installed the code highlighter as well, and I also don't see it in the side bar. Maybe something in common? I have the compatibility on for the usability pack, even tried to turn it off and back on.

Found an error in the console when I run:

Uncaught TypeError: GM_info.script.header is undefined
createSettings moz-extension://5f0c0ea7-c5f6-4b77-b122-c07f6b739034/ kbin-federation-awareness.user.js#8:446

Just to be clear, originally I tried to install directly from your scripts page, but got thrown an error of invalid script. I couldn't figure out what was the cause, so I tried to just take the installed original code and copied/pasted entirely with your source. Which worked for the main purpose, just didn't show the sidebar stuff.

Do you use TamperMonkey, or something else?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

ViolentMonkey

Since uninstalling the fed script, I now get the same error, but it's pointed to the code-highlighter. Clearly the problem, just don't know why it's not compatible with what I have. I have not tried turning all the scripts off, but I figured you run most of those too so I doubt it's that.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ah! That's why. The specs for gm_info are different for ViolentMonkey and TamperMonkey. That's insane to me, but I've got a fix! Again, really sorry for the hijack CodingAndCoffee.

Nailed it. Perfect.

Now I've got one more issue, since you've got your hands in it. I had asked before in this thread about how when infinite scrolling is on, the CSS doesn't get reloaded so none of the new feeds get accented. It works fine with manual page flipping since the site reloads. And I have no idea how the infinite loading works to figure out where a trigger might be to recall the script.

@Rhaedas

Figured out a solution for kbin-federation-awareness, will take longer for KCH. New link here.
