Hi! I'm British, I like music (grime, garage, hip-hop, R&B, and more!). I like art, culture, history, politics, & doomscrolling memes.

Also a touch of programming :)

What If You Fell Into A Black Hole? (with Dr. Brian Cox)

    Click this and then try to post a comment. There's the issue.

    The script redirects all links to your home instance. You posted that comment from https://lemmy.zip/ which is where you have your account, hence no issue. If I link you this post from another instance (see above), you won't be able to interact.

  • I'm logged in on sh.itjust.works, I'm not logged in or have an account on lemmy.ml. If I want to interact with posts from lemmy.ml, I want to do so from my home instance of sh.itjust.works whre I'm logged in and have my main account.

    YSK if you browse Lemmy on desktop/in browser, the Lemmy Universal Link Switcher script makes browsing between instances significantly less annoying

    Very simple, from the source:

    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.

    In essence, any Lemmy link you come across is automatically redirected to your home instance. It's also easy to customise, you can add/remove instances and prevent it from working on particular sites (or force it to only work on sites you wish).

    Can be installed with Tampermonkey or ViolentMonkey (or similar tools).

    note: this may also work just fine on mobile browsers that support extensions (and would likely help direct your browser to opening your lemmy app - if you have one - more often), but I haven't tested this.

    Is there any downside to disabling accessibility.force_disabled in about:config if you don't use accessibility tools?

  • That's not what I'm talking about, I'm talking about the associated/supported links that the app will try to open by default. Sure, that seems to work, and so does this https://ani.social/post/11480352?scrollToComments=true ... except if I try to navigate to that URL from my browser/outside of Boost.

    Some lemmy instances just aren't associated with Boost at all, so the app can't open them natively, e.g this for example https://endlesstalk.org/post/86819672 will take you to the apps browser-view/open outside of Boost regardless of where you click it.

  • Boost For Lemmy @lemmy.world
    Madbrad200 @sh.itjust.works

    Any chance we could get an expansion of the apps associated links?

    Seems like old Lemmy instances were purged in a recent update but there's a lot that are missing. Would be nice to have so I don't have to leave the app to view a Lemmy link

  • Might be worth bringing it up in the voyager community. That definitely shouldn't be the case.

  • They do not. Are you using Sync for Lemmy? It's broken and doesn't hide properly

  • Browsers @lemmy.ml
    Madbrad200 @sh.itjust.works

    I recently found a 'almost full list' of all desktop web browsers!

    Haven't seen a list as exhaustive as this anywhere else, so I thought I'd share.

  • uBlock Origin should be just fine. Have you messed with the settings at all? It won't block everything straight out the box. You may need to add some filter lists and change your blocking mode.

    I also use NextDNS though alongside uBlock.

  • It should work fine. Filtering by one instance will show all Lemmy content. You can use a script to ensure you always land back on your instance.

  • You may wish to use a script to change all Lemmy links to point to your home instance https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/469273-lemmy-universal-link-switcher

  • Permanently Deleted

  • It's still worth posting, a lot of people browse Lemmy only using the /all feed.

  • just filter by your instance, e.g google thing_youre_interested_in site:sh.itjust.works

  • are you guys just not aware you can filter by site?

    guitar site:lemmy.world

  • Yes. There's an add value button to add additional entries.

    Is this something sh admins are aware of? "Many Lemmy instances are misconfigured, which can break progressive video streaming and even basic image loading in strange ways."

    sh.itjust.works appears to show the error

    ❌ Error: HTTP range requests not supported
