UPDATES BELOW

So I browse on the desktop using the mlmym/old.lemmy client (e.g. http://old.lemmy.world) because old habits die hard.

One of the many things I found myself missing from RES & Reddit was the ability to customise the community bar at the top of the page to contain some links to my favourite communities. I had a spare minute this morning to throw together a userscript for just that:

Here's a pastebin with the script. Create a new userscript in tampermonkey (or whatever userscript plugin you use), drop the code in, change the array of communities at the top to be the ones you want prepending to the list, and you should be good.

Make sure to add the server suffix to any communities from other instances and if you want to use this on another instance other than lemmy.world, just change the match rule in the userscript header comment.

I didn't host on greasyfork as I'm probably not going to make any further changes, and I'd need to

Description

It adds a scroll to parent button to nested comments (after clicking the "more" button). If you then press the more button on the parent comment, you'll see a back to child button that will scroll back to the comment you came from on click (also after clicking the "more" button).

Install

1. Install via Greasy Fork or copy the code from there.
2. Replace the @match value with your instance.

Notes

Tested on Firefox with Tampermonkey and Violentmonkey.

A few weeks ago I decided to try my hand at bringing my favorite theme to Lemmy and this userscript was born. It's still in the early stages so there are some wrinkles to iron out, but I just pushed a big update with better contrast, style fixes, and streamlined code.

I've received several requests to turn it into a native Lemmy theme but have no idea how to do that. If anyone has any tips on theming, interest in collaborating, or a Lemmy i

Release 1.3.0

• You can now add multiple secondary instances: so if you, like me, also have an account on lemmynsfw.com (or of course any other instance), you can add that there and not have links rewritten for that instance
• You can manually enter your home instance. Useful for self-hosted instances that didn't show up in my instance list.

Full Description Below:

Description

Lemmy Universal Link Switcher, or LULs for short, scans all links on all websites, and if any link points to a Lemmy instance that is not your main/home instance, it rewrites the link so that it instead points to your main instance.

Also works on Firefox Android with the Tampermonkey extension!

Features

• Rewrite links to Lemmy posts/comments to point to your home instance. Only after hovering over them, because getting home posts/comments links require communicating with the Lemmy servers, and we don't want to spam t

• Link: https://github.com/lassekongo83/UserScripts/blob/main/lemmy/frellwits-lemmy-style.user.js
• Install link: https://github.com/lassekongo83/UserScripts/raw/main/lemmy/frellwits-lemmy-style.user.js

This is a style I primarily made for myself, but why not share it. It's inspired by some of the old subreddit styles and the old youtube design.

• Should work with litely and darkly plus compact variants.
• Uses rounded thumbnails to external links.
• Uses square thumbnails to internal images.
• Colored proprietary social media thumbs with their brand colors. (So you don't accidentally click on a youtube link for example).

There still are some things I have to fix in the dark theme, like buttons and card headers for example.

Install

Hi,

This is just a little helper script which adds buttons to posts and comments on any Lemmy instance except your own which lead to a search page in your home instance allowing you to quickly interact with content.

For now this is just a bunch of buttons, but ideally it'd be a fully-featured script that presents you with a proper text field for commenting/replying and buttons for voting. This is just the initial release and I'll be working to make the script better and save even more time while slacking off on Lemmy :P

Usage

Click the big 'Install' button above, then approve the script on the page displayed by your userscript manager. I've tested it on Violentmonkey and Tampermonkey with Firefox.

After installing, go to any Lemmy instance and enter your home instance's domain into the prompt (just the domain, l

Just an FYI post for folks who are new or recently returning to Lemmy, I have updated the linked grease/tamper/violentmonkey script for Lemmvy v0.18.

These two scripts (a compact version and a large thumbnail version) substantially rearrange the default Lemmy format.

These are (finally) relatively stable for desktop/widescreen. Future versions will focus a little more on the mobile/handheld experience.

These are theme agnostic and should work with darkly and litely (and variants) themes.

Home Instance Setup

Simply visit the Lemmy instance you want to set as your home while the script is active. You will be asked if you want to set this instance to your home instance:

If you initially set your home instance wrong or just want to change it, no worries - simply go to your settings on your new home instance and press the button for it!

Hey folks! I hope you're having a lovely day. I was using the "Lemmings fix" by @[email protected] for a while now and have been improving it to tailor my needs.

This one

• works even when browsing remote instances on remote instances
• adds the redirect button to the "sidebar"/community card
• works on mobile, too

Here are a couple of screenshots:

Here's the code (modify localLemmy before using):

 js

    
// ==UserScript==
// @name         Lemmings Fix
// @version      1.1
// @description  Redirect to your local Lemmy instance
// @author       @lemmy.world/u/soy, @lemmy.world/u/fperson
// @match        https://*/c/*
// @icon         https://join-lemmy.org/static/assets/icons/favicon.svg
// ==/UserScript==

(function () {
  'use strict';

  const localLemmy = 'lemmy.world';
  const isLemmy = document.head.querySelector
  

This userscript is incredibly useful in helping you populate your instance with remote communities.

Whenever you click on a link that gives you a 404 because your instance does not know about a community yet, it will immediately reload your browser and search for it, fetching you that community and making it discoverable for the rest of the users.

This works extremely well with lemmyverse.net when you click on the "home" icon in the communities tab and set your home instance.

cross-posted from: https://reddthat.com/post/69331

If you try to access a community on your local instance and it gives you a 404, this automatically takes you to your local instance's search instead and puts the community in for you.

Recommended to use with https://sh.itjust.works/post/33762](local instance redirect script) by @[email protected]

I started using Tampermonkey today, so dunno if this works with GreaseMonkey, but I assume it does.

This is my first userscript. Hope you guys like it!

Thanks for using my script. I will keep this thread updated with all the changes. Just look at the changelog.

If you have any tips on features and/or improvements then leave a comment and I'll take a look!

Changelog:

Version 0.5

The nav will now be sticky and move when you scroll down so you always have access to it!

Version 0.4

Removed bold as default...

Version 0.3

Added separators and colors codes for every link. Now you can edit the TextColor when you add a new custom link

{ title: 'Plugins', url: 'https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]', textColor: "#000000" }

Feel free to add or remove the separators as well

{ title: '|', url: '#', textColor: "#000000" }

Also added an option to change font weight:

link.style.fontWeight = "bold" = Bold

link.style.fontWeight = "" = Regular

A good chunk of this was borrowed from another thread by @[email protected] at https://sh.itjust.works/post/70273 but I've also added:

• clickable comment headers
• big friendly up/down vote buttons for posts
• rearranged comment up/down vote buttons and More button to shift things to be more visually pleasing (to me anyway)
