Why are these bot operators going through the hassle of joining existing instances
I wonder if there's already a "the bots are from Reddit" conspiracy :D
I really see no point in these actions. I mean, seriously, why would you want to just harm something open?
There’s an open-source and privacy-oriented userscript manager for Chrome(ium) called ViolentMonkey. Highly recommended using that!
Hey folks! I hope you're having a lovely day. I was using the "Lemmings fix" by @soy@lemmy.world for a while now and have been improving it to tailor my needs.
This one
Here are a couple of screenshots:
Here's the code (modify localLemmy before using):
// ==UserScript==
// @name Lemmings Fix
// @version 1.1
// @description Redirect to your local Lemmy instance
// @author @lemmy.world/u/soy, @lemmy.world/u/fperson
// @match https://*/c/*
// @icon https://join-lemmy.org/static/assets/icons/favicon.svg
// ==/UserScript==
(function () {
'use strict';
const localLemmy = 'lemmy.world';
const isLemmy = document.head.querySelector('[name~=Description][content]').content === 'Lemmy';
if (!isLemmy) {
return;
}
// Get URL info
const splitUrl = location.href.split('/');
const instanceUrl = splitUrl[2];
const community = splitUrl[4];
let localizedUrl = `https://${localLemmy}/c/${community}`;
if (!community.includes('@')) {
localizedUrl = `${localizedUrl}@${instanceUrl}`;
}
// Create redirect button if not on local
if (instanceUrl !== localLemmy) {
var zNode = document.createElement('a'); // create anchor tag
zNode.href = localizedUrl; // set the href
zNode.textContent = `Open in ${localLemmy}`; // set the text
zNode.id = 'localizeContainer'; // set the id
// update styles for a more modern look
zNode.style = `
