This extension helps users subscribed to Lemmy communities by adding an icon before mentions or URLs related to other communities. These mentions can be in the format “!communityname@instance.domain” or through URLs like “https://lemmy.ml/c/memes”.

By clicking the icon, users are directed to the kbin URL of that community. However, there’s currently a bug preventing it from working on /kbin (ironically), and I’ve already reported the issue on Git.

I’m in the process of publishing the extension on Firefox and Chrome extension stores, along with making the source code available.

I would appreciate your input on whether you find this extension useful.

Thank you!

    I don’t understand why this isn’t default behavior. I’m logged into kbin, as such if someone links another community on a different server, I want to interact with it through kbin, where I’m logged in.

    While a browser extension is a great start, that doesn’t help mobile users, so again it feels like it’s something that should be in the base UI.

    This is a great start though, and useful for those folks that can run browser extensions. Here’s wishing mobile browsers had more extension support.
