EDIT - the dev i forked it from added a lemmy option and is absolutely smashing it on the dev front, definitely recommend to use theirs!!

Yo FIrefox just accepted my extension which makes interaction with other lemmy instances easier. 

Chrome still tbc but Google should've accepted it by this time next week methinks.

It adds a small icon to other instances so that you can easily open it in your own lemmy instance for interaction etc.

It's simple, rough and ready but super useful, just input your lemmy instance in settings and then enable it for all sites or just the lemmy sites you want and hey presto.

Open for ideas, collaboration and feedback as always :)

Have you considered modifying this to be a pull-request for lemmy-ui? It's cool to have an extension, but Lemmy being open-source makes it possible to merge the improvement upstream and make it better for everyone.

There's a few of these popping up. Maybe you guys can work together.

It would be cool to merge these plus this one that does link formatting into one threadiverse super extension.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Hey that's me!

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

And then make it a pull request on the front end's repo!

Would it be possible to port to Firefox for Android?

[โ€“] fcuks 13 points 1 year ago

I've not tested it so I didn't enable it for android but I don't see why it wouldn't to be honest. It's getting late here now so I'll have a play tomorrow :)

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Had the same idea but you were quicker, will try it out!

[โ€“] fcuks 9 points 1 year ago

dude lets work together a build something cool! I'm happy to set up a separate repo etc :D

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Thank you, this is exactly what I needed!

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Iโ€™m mobile only but Iโ€™m damn impressed anyway! That seemed fast!

[โ€“] Xylinna 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Looks like the Firefox extension has been pulled which is a bummer.

[โ€“] Xylinna 1 points 1 year ago

Nice! I'm excited to try it out. I must have caught it at a bad time last night.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Wow such a nice quality of life change!

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

This. This shit right here man. I love it.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Awesome, thanks! Definitely going to give it a try tomorrow.

Edit: Seems to work good so far, it's just what I wanted - something minimal and easy for viewing on the instance I'm using. Beats the quick little bookmarklet I made which was only good for specific pages.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I was just wishing for something like this also. The copy/paste/search/subscribe process is quite painful, and this gets past a lot of that. I'll give it a try right now (just set my instance up today) and try to contribute if I think of anything good.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

This is exactly what I was looking for! I'll give it a try later

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

This is really cool. Nice work dude.

[โ€“] _MoveSwiftly 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks for doing the work and adding this to Firefox. :)

Pretty cool, why isn't this built into Lemmy already though?
