Ensures that all URLs to Lemmy instances always point to your main/home instance.
This script transforms links from other instances to your home instance. So useful :)
As @MedicareForSome@lemmy.ml explained:
It makes it so that if you visit another instance using their URL, it will redirect you to your home version’s federated link.
E.g. if your home server is Lemmy.world, let’s say you find a link to Lemmy on another website but it’s a link to Lemmy.ml. If you click the link, you won’t be signed in.
How does it detect that a link is a lemmy link? Also, does this work on any website or just lemmy? Can it also handle things like opening a link from an app outside of the browser?
You should look at the link this post points to, the description of the script answers 2/3 :D
A link is detected by keeping a list of all instances and just matching them to that list. Currently contains 1188 instances from https://lemmyverse.net/?order=active
Yes, any website
Yes, not immediately, but you get a "Show on [HOME INSTANCE]" link at the top

You're in a thread about me answering questions for a browser extension, asking about a mobile app. I think it's more appropriate to ask: what do you mean? I have nothing to do with a mobile app.
But its obviously a great functionality. We could think of setting it up as a proper library with good interfaces so you could just pull it into your code.
In the end we are making open source software to improve the platform, so you could also submit your algorithm to the projects.
I'm sorry I thought this thread is about asking questions and having a discussion about the feature and your code
The native Jerboa app does not use any JavaScript. The code is not and can not be compatible. The "algorithm" I use is like 10 lines of code, I wrote the base of it in like 1 hour. Most of the rest of the code is solely about handling the weirdness of browsers and having it work in all kinds of different websites, all of which jerboa wouldn't care about.
I could probably implement the feature in jerboa in 3-4 hours, depending on how easy it is to get into the Android app ecosystem. But I don't use jerboa and don't care much about it, so I won't, unless somebody wants to pay me which I don't think is happening.
If you had made this comment from the start, I could have responded like I did now. As it were, I saw someone talking about some random app I didn't care about. I didn't have the context that was in your head, that you only now supplied in this comment.
Yes don't get me wrong, like its a cool feature, but I am very well aware that it's neither complex nor a lot of work, but it has to start somewhere. I was just trying to encourage pushing good features to the whole platform. But I got you, you internalized the idea behind FOSS, decentralized digital infrastructure structure owned by people not big corp, you want to be paid for your 10 line "algorithm".It's OK.
No website should ever crash a browser. It could be some weird things happening on sopuli.xyz but I would take this up with the browser developer, it looks more like a fault of the browser than the website, especially as everything works in other browsers.
It seems logical, but I tried it on few browsers (some isolated on my work account so cookies make no difference), all ff based though. All crashed only with sopuli, which I find really weird, because sopuli should be using the same software as anyone else. Maybe it's the webview itself? (Using Mulch wv, although I'm not sure if mull using it) that'll explain why it happens on both fennec and Mull, but not why only sopuli lol.
If we already talking, do you mind checking (on whatever browser you're using) if it crashes for you too?
