I plan on experimenting with the suggestions posted here. That way I can narrow down where the problem is
The live website works on desktop and mobile. The offline folder works well on desktop, but it has issues on mobile, such as the search bar not working
That would work
I’ll check it out
Thank you, I’ll try those

This doesn't answer the Linux part, but on FDroid there's something similar as "Retro Stack"
Thank you for sharing! This is my first project like this so I've got lots to learn. I'm going to try and contribute to a few other ones so try and learn what it's like
This is very helpful, thank you! I'll look into setting up more of that sometime
Good to know, I'll explore some more
Thank you!
Makes sense, thank you!
Sounds good! This was my first dive into browser extensions as well. It's not too bad once you go over the basics. If you give it a try, see the contributing page on the repo's wiki for some resources on how to get started with browser extensions.
A super short summary is:
If you DO give it a try, we were part way through migrating features from the LemmyTools userscript and that might be a good place to start. I wasn't familiar with userscripts so I didn't make much progress, and can't get back to it for a little while. The issues page of the repo should have LemmyTools related features tagged. If any details are missing, let me know and I'll add them in :)
We actually have an extension for this, it's one of the more popular extensions for Lemmy&Kbin, going by the counts on chrome/firefox stores:
It was originally made to solve this problem, but we've been adding other features as well. Right now you can redirect communities and posts, and redirect links by right clicking on them.
Let me know if it works, and also where it doesn't so that we can improve it :)
We're actually working on a browser extension for this! It currently supports both communities and posts
We ran into the same issue, federated sites are hard to work with. Right now, the extension has it so that a user needs to right click on a link to be redirected. That way the user can choose which links get redirected, and there's no chance of accidentally redirecting the wrong thing.
There are other solutions (using the API for example), but they seemed to slow the browser down too much. Another proposed feature that hasn't been implemented yet was to redirect when holding down a key (when holding down "r", try to redirect the link).
Feel free to take a look, try it, and you can totally contribute code. It's all open source and we've tried to keep the code simple and easy to verify/contribute.
Yep, it works perfectly
Bitwarden has it too, but eggs in one basket etc.
Ah yea sorry, that bit wasn’t important. More just me planning out how I could implement it
Just that it would display the first 5 or so, and have the rest hidden away until you expand it :)
This is something I was thinking about for instance assistant, because it’s annoying to keep searching the few communities I’m posting in.
I was thinking of a list in the sidebar, with a max depth, of the favourited users & communities. Would that be helpful?
Oh interesting, thank you! That’s really helpful :)
This is great!
Quick API question for anyone, does the search API only look at the post body field? When I try searching for a particular link (say a news article), it only seems to pull posts where the link was mentioned in the body, not when the link was the submission
Yes fair enough, I’ll include a better description as a dropdown in future posts.
Instance Assistant is a browser extension with a handful of tools on Desktop. It started out as a button to redirect to your home instance, but with the help of others we’ve included a few other functions and are working on more.
You can see more here: https://github.com/cynber/lemmy-instance-assistant#features

Thank you for putting all this together!

Having a separate list for extensions would work nicely, although I think it fits to have the extensions listed here. There are few actual browser extensions for Lemmy/Kbin/Mastodon. There are a lot of scripts, and we were working on incorporating the better scripts into the extension for the same reasons you mentioned above. Scripts are harder to manage and review
My thoughts on the questions.
