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.

      Thanks for making this. It was working well, but I had to disable it because Firefox was giving me little warnings that it was slowing down pages. It was actually making some other sites freeze, even when I didn’t have any lemmy pages open. I would have put this in a github issue, but the issues tab isn’t enabled.

        with the modifications I made to kbin link it also works for lemmy, I don’t mind to combine efforts and have one repo for an extension. Just let me know
