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 thelocalLemmy
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);
}
Thanks! This is the exact script that I was hoping to find!
easily one of the things i use the most 😎 if not THE one
