[UserScript] Lemmy Universal Link switcher, or LULs for short
  • The functionality in this script is indeed only possible as an addon or userscript. Browsers specifically spent a lot of work trying to make it impossible for one site to get any information about which other sites the user visited, and for good reason. Just imagine the phishing this would allow if it were possible.

    That said, there could of course be an official lemmy browser addon/userscript for this functionality. But it definitely wouldn't be baked into the sites themselves.

    Because idk if you noticed, but this script actually rewrites all links everywhere, so for example even if you get a result to some lemmy instance on duckduckgo, the link on duckduckgo itself will already point to your instance. Please tell me how that would be possible without an addon/userscipt :D

  • Wild idea, but could it just be that you're using it wrong? :D if you're on lemmy.ca then almost nothing should be rewritten because almost all links already go to lemmy.ca. Only when you go to another instance somehow or a user posts a link, for example this one then it should be rewritten.

    Anyway though, here is a debug version of the script: https://gitlab.com/-/snippets/2561468/raw/main/lemmy.user.js

    To use, open the browser console, unselect all message types at the top right (errors, warnings, logs...) except for the "Debug" message type, then reload the page and right-click -> send me all messages.

  • Does it work again when you do a full refresh? So F5/press enter in the adress bar? If so then somehow listening to page changes is broken for you, lemmy doesn't actually load new pages when you click on an (instance-local) link, it just exchanges all the content within the currently loaded page.

  • I don't think your assumption on how well I understand how the professional world works is correct.

    I understand very well that signing any NDA is by no means "zero risk", it has a definite risk attached to it. Declining it is costly in some way, but also has definite advantages.

    I also understand that very rarely is the phrasing ever "this conversation will be off the record", but rather some phrasing including the specific topics that may not be shared, like you say for example, product details. Blanket phrasings like this are always very sketchy.

  • This is not a proper talk by meta that you could just "hear them out". They explicitly said off the record and confidential, there's no reason for that if it's something innocuous. There 100% would be an NDA involved.

    The fediverse is all about being open, starting with an NDA is definitely not "zero risk", you can not slip up ever, or you're going to be destroyed by lawyers, this is the exact opposite of "zero risk".

  • Protect. Moderate. Purge. Your. Sever.
  • You could just make a simple duplicate email check with special special handling of gmails + and . behavior, and notify the user if they try to create an account for an already registered email.

  • Need to get a bit of feedback from you.

    Any errors in the browser console (F12 by default)? So go to lemmy.ca, press F12, make sure the console is open, refresh, look for red error messages. If there are, copy them to me.

    greasyfork.org Lemmy - Rewrite Links to Home Instance

    Ensures that all URLs to Lemmy instances always point to your main/home instance.

    Lemmy - Rewrite Links to Home Instance

    Description

    Lemmy Universal Link Switcher, or LULs for short, scans all links on all websites, and if any link points to a Lemmy instance that is not your main/home instance, it rewrites the link so that it instead points to your main instance. Currently only works for community/user links.

    Home Instance Setup

    Simply visit the Lemmy instance you want to set as your home while the script is active. You will be asked if you want to set this instance to your home instance: !home

    If you initially set your home instance wrong or just want to change it, no worries - simply go to your settings on your new home instance and press the button for it! !settings

    Features

    • Rewrite all links of communities or users on all websites everywhere to your new instance! The rewritten links will have an icon next to it, and hovering/touching the icon will show you the original link, allowing you to go there if you want to. !rewrite

    • If you are already on a page that has a corresponding page on your home instance, a link will automatically be added to the page header. !redirect

    Coming soon

    • Post & comment links. Those are a bit harder because the URL has to be requested from the instances.

    Use an absolute link in request sidebar

    When I went to https://feddit.de/c/requests@lemmit.online I noticed the sidebar links to /c/about - which doesn't exist on feddit.de

    I'd suggest to change the link to https://lemmit.online/c/about so people from other instances can find it more easily.

    Kbin and Lemmy should come to a consensus on how to name stuff

    Is there really a reason, for example, for there to be the distinction of "magazine" and "community"? When you're federating, the same features should be called the same, if close enough. That way everyone can talk with everyone about stuff and we all immediately understand each other.

    Would also alleviate confusion for any new adopters.

    ^I'm pretty sure this is going to be impossible though, since each sides egos will likely get in the way :D^

    kbin auf browse.feddit.de?

    kbin scheint wohl jetzt gescheit zu federieren, wäre es möglich deren communities auf browse.feddit.de zu inkludieren?
