I'll join from kbin (federation is still too cool to me to not call it out)
It's great, isn't it? I was having a conversation with someone on here the other day and didn't realise they were on Mastodon. I'd shared the original post there and replies turned up in Lemmy and vice-versa. It's very cool.
The only thing I wish could be improved is the having to manually go back to your home instance and search for a community on another server. It feels even worse than the same process on Mastodon, which already feels clunky.
Install this to your bookmarks bar, and if you find yourself on an external community you can just click it to be taken to your local version instead. You'll still get the occasional 404 if your instance hasn't indexed it yet but those are getting rarer every day.
javascript:(function() {const myInst="mcr.town";let currUrl=window.location.toString().split("/");let currInst=currUrl[2];currUrl[2]=myInst;let newUrl=currUrl.join("/")+"@"+currInst;window.location=newUrl;})()(@[email protected] I don't know if this would work for you because I know URLs are a bit different on Kbin side but maybe you can edit whatever needs editing to make it work there too?)
Nice, I expect I can tweak it to my needs
I'm on Kbin and was having a conversation with someone on Mastadon on a Lemmy instance! It's magic!
But yeah, I would really like a script of browser plug-in that would add a "subscribe on my home instance" button. Unfortunately I've barely done any programming in the last decade and I always hated web programming so I'm not the right person to make that!
