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

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:

!instance_assistant@lemmy.ca

It was originally made to solve this problem, but we’ve been adding other features as well.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 :)

That sounds good, and it sounds easy enough to implement.

I’ve made the issue here: https://github.com/cynber/lemmy-instance-assistant/issues/45

I’ll get to it when I have time in the next few months, unless someone else gets to it first :)

Hope it works for you!

Hope it helps!

There are a few userscripts out there which I could integrate into the extension. It depends on when this commit gets pushed into Lemmy core:

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2397

After that, it could still be useful if someone wanted to block it browser wide. At that point I’d check if people still want something like that.

Sorry to those that have already seen this. I’m trying to space out the posts so it’s not in a large clump in your feeds. People have different subscription lists, so I’m trying to reach those that haven’t seen it yet.

These are the last 4 posts :)

Oops, I definitely did

Should be fixed now

I was so excited when I finally got it working :)

Yep, it works perfectly

Bitwarden has it too, but eggs in one basket etc.

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

Screenshots here: https://github.com/cynber/lemmy-instance-assistant#screenshots

I’ll see if I can roll this into a future update for !instance_assistant@lemmy.ca . I wanted to try and get a “post to Lemmy” button working, and this is a part of that. Looks like the reddit one was done using a Reddit API, and while the Lemmy ones are different it shouldn’t be too bad.

UPDATE: I’m able to search for links within the body of posts, but haven’t figured out why it doesn’t search the links yet. I’ll look into it later

The only limitation might be that the search is limited to a particular instance. Since there is an unlimited number of instances, I don’t think there’s an easy way to search them all without some external service doing some caching of some kind. We could have it search a bunch of different instances, but I want to minimize unnecessary / spammy requests.

@Bucky@816am.ddns.net, is it important for the extension icon to display the number, or did you usually run a manual search?****

This is something that is probably better if implemented in Lemmy itself. It would be tied to a particular community, and it wouldn’t need to cross over between instances.

If someone tried to make a browser extension for it, it would only appear for people using the same browser extension. Some third party apps have it like that, and it’s not that helpful.

What’s better for a browser extension / app to take on is cross-instance functionality, such as jumping between instances, having buttons / content in the UI, etc. I’m working on an extension for that ( !instance_assistant@lemmy.ca ), and while I really want flairs as well, I don’t think it would be good for a browser extension.

Once it’s implemented in Lemmy itself, then we could probably make it easier to add/remove/view/filter flairs using a browser extension.

I’ve been using Nova Launcher for years now, but I explored other options a few months ago because of the ownership change. Lawnchair was the best one I found, but I didn’t switch to it because it looked like it was missing features I needed. Folders was an important one.

Which version / source are you using for the app? I got a bit lost trying to find a recent version. The last release on the GitHub is from 2018, and the last prerelease is from a year ago. There’s also an issue for the folders which I was following, and it actually just went stale: https://github.com/LawnchairLauncher/lawnchair/issues/2471

I also see Lawnchair2, but that looked like a fork or something
