Install

Hi,

This is just a little helper script which adds buttons to posts and comments on any Lemmy instance except your own which lead to a search page in your home instance allowing you to quickly interact with content.

For now this is just a bunch of buttons, but ideally it'd be a fully-featured script that presents you with a proper text field for commenting/replying and buttons for voting. This is just the initial release and I'll be working to make the script better and save even more time while slacking off on Lemmy :P

Usage

Click the big 'Install' button above, then approve the script on the page displayed by your userscript manager. I've tested it on Violentmonkey and Tampermonkey with Firefox.

After installing, go to any Lemmy instance and enter your home instance's domain into the prompt (just the domain, like lemmy.world or sh.itjust.works and nothing else). You can change this domain later by clicking on your manager's icon, then on "Change home instance" below the script's name.

From now on you'll see blue buttons ("[ comment on own instance instead ]" on posts and "[ C ]" on comments) outside your specified home instance. Click on any to go to a search page on your own instance, then click the link icon if you're interacting with a comment or post title if with a post, then reply or vote on content as you desire.

This is the first release, so might be prone to breaking and isn't very beautiful yet. Please report any issues and send suggestions via DM or in the comments below.

Thanks and happy using.
