This script transforms links from other instances to your home instance. So useful :)

As @[email protected] 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.

So like: https://lemmy.ml/c/memes would redirect to https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]

This way you can seamlessly use Lemmy.

It does the same for posts.

Edit: since it works from any site, I highly recommend you to add it to your Android browser so it will work with webapp clients here’s how:

You can use violentMonkey on ff browser too, but you need to unlock Dev options, then do this
