@ernest could this work on kbin as well?
AFAIK, it does. But the url structure is slightly different. Instead of
https://kbin.social/c/memes@lemmy.mlIt would be
https://kbin.social/m/memes@lemmy.mlwith an “m” instead of a “c”.I’m still learning, so someone please correct me if I’m wrong.
It would be awesome for it to convert https://lemmy.ml/c/memes into https://kbin.social/m/memes@lemmy.ml automatically.
For real. I feel like I recall a browser extension doing something similar for Mastodon. But I don’t have the coding knowledge to adapt that to this use case.
Interesting, I might look into modifying the extension for it to work with kbin
Sweet! I would be interested, and might be able to help test. Let me know if something comes of it.
Nice, I got it working with this type of mention !communityname@instance.domain. But I want to see if I can convert the link form too, I will probably make a post once is done.
So I managed to get the extension to an usable state.
It adds that little kbin icon to the beginning of the url or mention, if you click that icon you will go to the kbin link of that community. It works for all websites so if you are browsing on a lemmy site it should work there too.
I am currently working on testing it and publishing it to the chrome and firefox stores.
