Chrome extension to add a "search" link when browsing logged out Lemmy instances

RedKrieg@lemmy.redkrieg.com to Lemmy.World Announcements@lemmy.world – 44 points – GitHub - RedKrieg/home-lemmy-helper: Adds a 'Search' link to Lemmy communities on servers where you are not logged in.
github.com

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.

Based on the two open issues, it could be made cross compatible pretty easily.

Edit: seems his is slightly different, more for formatting links within posts.

Yes, I will update it in a bit, it improves performance a little
