Chrome extension to add a "search" link when browsing logged out Lemmy instances (github.com)

I've been annoyed by the "copy !communityname@server.host to your instance's search" aspect of joining new communities. To make this more streamlined I created this extension to add a "Search on [myhomeinstance]" button on community pages. It's currently submitted for approval in the chrome web store, which could take a few days, but you should be able to install it as an unpacked extension in developer mode today. Please let me know what you think and if you have any suggestions.

Cool cool. What happens if the remote community isn't found on the home instance due to a lack of initial federation?

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Searching for it on your instance will force it to look it up.

Very nice!

Yeah, I initially wanted to take you directly to the community on your instance but currently you get a very basic 404 message like that. I went with the search option since it should show your instance's UI regardless. If a future Lemmy release loads the yet-to-be-federated communities from url correctly, I'll change this extension to do that.
