i find it annoying to have to manually change urls to subscribe to a community outside lemmy.world, so i wrote a bookmarklet to quickly switch to the lemmy.world instance

to use, just drag the following code to your bookmarks bar (name it whatever you like), then click it when you want to use it

javascript:(function() {const myInst="lemmy.world";let currUrl=window.location.toString().split("/");let currInst=currUrl[2];currUrl[2]=myInst;let newUrl=currUrl.join("/")+"@"+currInst;window.location=newUrl;})();

readable version:

javascript:(
	function() {
		// make sure to change this if using on a different instance
		const myInst="lemmy.world";
		let currUrl=window.location.toString().split("/");
		let currInst=currUrl[2];
		currUrl[2]=myInst;
		let newUrl=currUrl.join("/")+"@"+currInst;
		window.location=newUrl;
	})

    No worries at all. I actually found a post working on a FF extension that I think will work. https://beehaw.org/post/493791. Similar idea, but adds an icon to the left of links.

    I appreciate you taking the time to look into it though!
