From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The primary device runs a privacy hardened version of chromium without extensions (Graphene/Vanadium). It also runs most traffic through an OpenWRT fork on a router. I'm just not sure how to create a network filter with redirection or what this is called in the correct terminology, or what other techniques exist.
You probably are unable to tag/mention the user because beehaw is defederated from .world and I created this post from a .world user account.
The mentioned Redirector extension does exactly what you're asking. If you want a solution without a browser extension though, I really don't know what you can do.
If you're open to using extensions, u can use iceraven, it's a firefox fork that allows more extensions and tries to make it more compatible with them, although they might not work. I just checked and redirector that was mentioned on the other comment is available there. I use it as my primary mobile browser.
Qutebrowser..? Pretty sure you want qutebrowser
You can use tampermonkey to do something like this. For example, here's my script that redirects twitter to my nitter instance: https://github.com/ipha/userscripts/blob/master/twitter-redirect-nitter.user.js
This is tricky because I'm pretty sure lemmy is using history.pushState to change the URL and not actually navigating there in the traditional manner so you can't really expect the script to run unless you refresh the page or paste the URL in directly.
Probably a browser extension. Or you could use a reverse proxy to make that change, especially if you run your own Lemmy instance
