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

Dude I'm so down for this too, I tweaked the kbin-link to work for lemmy, we should message the person see if he's interested in joining up efforts - even if they are not I certainly am!

What's the best way to message you also? Let's get some dialog going and see if we can suss some cool stuff out
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.
I don't know if you are talking about me! But if so, then yes!
I'm reachable here, @matrix.org, @gmail.com, and on libera.chat
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
