Welcome to the lemmy-instance-assistant wiki!


Recent Updates:

  • search for communities through Lemmyverse.net or for posts through lemmy-search directly from the popup or sidebar
  • First feature pulled from LemmyTools! You now have the option to hide the Lemmy sidebar, so you have more room for posts (more LemmyTools features to come!)
  • Replaced non-functional 'subscribe' button on foreign /communities pages to make them useful (only when no account is signed in, so not to replace something functional)
  • Initial support for Alexandrite & Photon frontends. Test them here:
  • Fix for generated link on CommunityNotFound pages
  • Biggest change was behind the scenes: Completely refactored the code to move repetitive functions to a utils.js file. Should be a lot easier for people to collaborate and to maintain

Future Plans:

  • Exploring a 'Reddit migrator' tool, similar to the mobile tool in Voyager, powered by lemmyverse.net
  • Adding more features from LemmyTools Userscript, with help from /u/[email protected]
  • Adding icons and simplifying the design, as the menus are getting very wordy
    • settings to limit onboarding / help instructions
  • Ability to have multiple 'home instances'
  • Finishing the setup so that people can contribute translations / other languages to the extension.

FAQ

Why can't I jump to the same post on my home instance?

When you view the same post on different instances, the links may look like this: https://lemmy.ca/post/634937 vs. https://lemmy.world/post/79489. Currently, there doesn't seem to be a way to determine what the post's URL will be on your home instance,

Due to this, there is no way to link to the post on your home instance. Instead, we can generate links to community pages, such as:

  • The community you are currently viewing
  • The community that where the original post was made

I chose the first option, since that would make it easier to find the post again.

Did you spot a button to "Open post in my home instance"?

You may sometimes see a button to "Open post in my home instance". This should only show up when the original post was on your home instance. You can get the same functionality by clicking the little "Fediverse" icon under the post title. For example, the button should show up on this page: https://lemmy.world/post/79489.

If post links become possible in a future update, I will revisit this issue.
