I'm creating this community as a place for discussion around the upcoming Olympus for Lemmy iOS app. The TestFlight build is awaiting approval and should be available in the next 24 hours. In the meantime, here's a bit about the app and what to expect.

Motivation

I think a lot of us have an alien shaped hole in our chest that needs filling. I, like many of you, was not satisfied with the quality of many of the apps available for browsing lemmy. I got spoiled with Apollo and couldn't stand to settle, so I set out to build a similar experience for the Fediverse. While I've taken a lot of inspiration from Apollo, Olympus is by no means meant to be a direct clone.

Goal

I want to create a browsing experience that can be customized in every conceivable way. From visual personalization to content filtering, you will be able to change as much as is feasible about the app. A lot of the groundwork for this customization has been laid, but the settings are not yet user-accessible. In other words, the backed work is done but the frontend work is not(:

Where you come in

As early adopters and alpha testers, you all will play a pivotal role in the development of the app. Whatever you want, I'll do it. Just ask. I have an issue tracker set up on GitHub here, please stop by and drop any issues you face in there, or just make a post here. I'd prefer if we keep feature requests in this community and out of the issue tracker, but I won't be mad if you drop some in there too.

So that about sums it up I think. I'll keep you guys posted on new releases and will engage with you all in the comments.

The drop pod is what you use to drop from the space rig into the planet Hoxxes to start a mission, and you also use it to fly back up to the space rig with your loot.

The amount of apps being developed for iOS / Android is getting really crazy now and new apps keep popping up every day. Updated list below:

• Artemis (Kmoon) (iOS, Android): /c/ArtemisApp@kbin.social
• Memmy (iOS, Android): /c/memmy@lemmy.ml
• Mlem (iOS - TestFlight): /c/mlemapp@lemmy.ml
• Morpha (iOS, Android): /c/morpha@vlemmy.net
• Thunder (iOS, Android): /c/thunder_app@lemmy.world
• Beyond (iOS, Android): https://beehaw.org/post/647773
• Liftoff (FOSS) (iOS/Android, Download on GitHub & on TestFlight): /c/liftoff@lemmy.world
• Jerboa (Android - Released): (Play Store) https://github.com/dessalines/jerboa
• Slide (Android): https://lemmy.world/post/379068
• Sync (Android): /c/syncforlemmy@lemmy.world
• Connect (Android - Beta): https://beehaw.org/post/698247
• Lemon (iOS): https://lemm.ee/post/127800
• Summit (Android - Released): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.idunnololz.summit

Most apps on the list are lemmy apps, meaning they don't work with kbin. Artemis is specifically designed to work with kbin, not sure if or when any of the other ones will go in that direction or become interoperable as there are some challenges with the kbin API at the moment. Having said that, a new API is in the works so things should get better with time.

I made a neat table, here u go:

::: spoiler Click to see table

I find that Hot and Active give you really old stuff, at least on my instance, that's like 3-7 days old stuff. New is just new, you know new, no community-assured quality. Top is stuff I've already seen. Where do I get a better feed? Can we have like Top 7 hours? Or a mixture of "top 16 hours" and "active"?

What do you do when browsing Lemmy? What are some of your strategies to get good shit while being here? Cuz so far if I try and use the front pages I get bored to shit.

The way I get anything barely worth interacting with from the front page is New Comments. Not the best, but better than the other options I discussed.

That or just, instead of interacting with a lot of stuff, interacting deeply with the few things I find that I like.

The Lemmy UI is under development and more improvements are coming everyday, but while we wait, we're making userscripts and plugins to improve our experience.

If you're a user, feel free to just come in and use the scripts.

If you're a developer, we invite you to try and help make the experience of newcomers (and oldcomers) better.

Introduction

UserScripts are an incredible way to enhance and customize your browsing experience. They allow you to alter the functionality and layout of web pages, like Lemmy UI, by executing JavaScript codes on the client side. In this guide, we'll walk you through the process of installing UserScripts in your Chrome or Firefox browser.

What is a UserScript?

UserScripts are bits of code written in JavaScript that run in your web browser. They can modify the content, layout, and behavior of web pages. The true power of UserScripts lies in their ability to tailor your browsing experience to your needs.

Installing a UserScript Manager

To run UserScripts, you'll need to install a UserScript manager extension. Two popular ones are Tampermonkey and Greasemonkey.

Installing Tampermonkey on Chrome

1. Open the Chrome web browser.
2. Go to the Tampermonkey page on the Chrome Web Store.
3. Click the "Add to Chrome" button.
4. Confirm by clicking "Add extension" in the pop-up window.

Installing Violentmonkey on Chrome

1. Open the Chrome web browser.
2. Go to the Violentmonkey page on the Chrome Web Store.
3. Click the "Add to Chrome" button.
4. Confirm by clicking "Add extension" in the pop-up window.

Installing Tampermonkey on Firefox

1. Open the Firefox web browser.
2. Go to the Tampermonkey page on the Firefox Add-ons site.
3. Click the "Add to Firefox" button.
4. Confirm by clicking "Add" in the pop-up window.

Installing Greasemonkey on Firefox

1. Open the Firefox web browser.
2. Go to the Greasemonkey page on the Firefox Add-ons site.
3. Click the "Add to Firefox" button.
4. Confirm by clicking "Add" in the pop-up window.

Installing Violentmonkey on Firefox

1. Open the Firefox web browser.
2. Go to the Violentmonkey page on the Firefox Add-ons site.
3. Click the "Add to Firefox" button.
4. Confirm by clicking "Add" in the pop-up window.

Adding a UserScript

Now that you have a UserScript manager installed, you can add your own scripts. Here's how:

1. Click on the Tampermonkey or Greasemonkey icon in your browser toolbar.
2. Choose "Create a new script..." from the dropdown menu.
3. You'll be taken to a new tab with a script template. Delete this template.
4. Copy your UserScript and paste it into the empty field.
5. Click "File" and then "Save" in the editor menu.

That's it! Your UserScript is now installed and will run on the sites specified in its metadata.

Conclusion

UserScripts offer an incredible way to customize your web browsing experience. Whether you're using Chrome or Firefox, Tampermonkey, Greasemonkey or Violentmonkey, you can create a browsing environment that's uniquely suited to your needs. Happy scripting!

Remember, while UserScripts are powerful tools, they should be used responsibly. Don't install scripts from sources you don't trust, as they can pose security risks. Always review the code of a UserScript before installing it to ensure it doesn't contain anything malicious.

Original post, containing the original code @soy@lemmy.world made: https://sh.itjust.works/post/33762

his original message:

For those that use Tampermonkey or GreaseMonkey, here’s a quick script I whipped up that creates a button that redirects communities from other instances to your local instance. If your instance isn’t lemmy.world, then change the localLemmy var at the top. Enjoy!

My small fix:

For personal use, I changed localLemmy to sh.itjust.works because that's my instance. I also embedded some styles and made it so it's top right instead of bottom left, and so that it's red and works better for me. Soy's original code didn't work for me so I had to make these small alterations to get it working.

// ==UserScript==
// @name         Lemmings Fix
// @version      1.0
// @description  Redirect to your local Lemmy instance
// @author       @lemmy.world/u/soy
// @match        https://*/c/*
// @icon         https://join-lemmy.org/static/assets/icons/favicon.svg
// ==/UserScript==

const localLemmy = "sh.itjust.works";
var isLemmy =
  document.head.querySelector("[name~=Description][content]").content ===
  "Lemmy";

if (isLemmy) {
  // Get URL info
  var splitUrl = location.href.split("/");
  var instanceUrl = splitUrl[2];
  var community = splitUrl[4];
  var localizedUrl =
    "https://" + localLemmy + "/c/" + community + "@" + instanceUrl;

  // Create redirect button if not on local
  if (instanceUrl !== localLemmy) {
    var zNode = document.createElement("div");
    zNode.innerHTML = "Open in local instance";
    zNode.setAttribute("id", "localizeContainer");
    // add styles to the button embedded
    zNode.setAttribute(
      "style",
      "cursor: pointer; padding: 16px; background-color: red; border-radius: 10%; border-width: 3px; border-style: solid; padding: 3px; z-index: 10;max-width:200px;position:fixed;top:0;right:0;"
    );
    zNode.addEventListener("click", onLocalize);
    document.body.appendChild(zNode);
  }
}

function onLocalize() {
  window.location.replace(localizedUrl);
}
