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
- works even when browsing remote instances on remote instances
- adds the redirect button to the “sidebar”/community card
- works on mobile, too
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 = `
display: inline-block;
cursor: pointer;
padding: 5px 20px;

zNode.addEventListener('mouseenter', function () {
this.style.backgroundColor = '#0056b3';
});
zNode.addEventListener('mouseleave', function () {
this.style.backgroundColor = '#007BFF';
});
function addButtonIfNotPresent(node) {
const link = node.querySelector('a[href*="/create_post"]');
if (link && !link.parentNode.querySelector('#localizeContainer')) {
var zNode = document.createElement('a');
zNode.href = localizedUrl;
zNode.textContent = `Open in ${localLemmy}`;
zNode.id = 'localizeContainer';
zNode.style = `

zNode.addEventListener('mouseenter', function () {

});
zNode.addEventListener('mouseleave', function () {
this.style.backgroundColor = '#007BFF';
});
link.parentNode.appendChild(zNode);
}
}
const observer = new MutationObserver(function (mutationsList, observer) {
for (let mutation of mutationsList) {
if (mutation.type === 'childList') {
mutation.addedNodes.forEach((node) => {
if (node.nodeType === 1) {
addButtonIfNotPresent(node);
}
});
}
}
});
// Options for the observer (which mutations to observe)
const config = { childList: true, subtree: true };
// Target node to observe
const targetNode = document.body;
// Start observing the target node for configured mutations
observer.observe(targetNode, config);
// Run initial check
document.querySelectorAll('.card-body').forEach(addButtonIfNotPresent);
}
})();
can you do me a favor and add [UserScript] to the start of your post title? This will help distinguish it from plugins and stylus scripts.
It works like a charm. But I’d suggest to add this to https://openuserjs.org/ or a similar site to make it available and update-able if necessary!
Pardon my ignorance, but what is a redirector in regards to Lemmy?
Lemmy works by instances, every instance federates to every other instance in theory. So if you were to visit a post on lemmy.ml or lemmy.world, but your account is on sh.itjust.works, you kinda want to be redirected to the same post, but on your “home” instance (in this example, sh.itjust.works). That’s what this UserScript is for.
Is this the same as this firefox extension?
yo cool didn’t know this one why isn’t it on the sub
Interesting
I see
@match https://*/c/*
, maybe should add to supporthttps://*/u/*
(users, like https://sh.itjust.works/u/Jakylla) for an even better redirector
