Lemmy instance Apple Shortcut? (midwest.social)

I use a browser extension on my computer to easily switch a community to my own instance so I may subscribe. Is there an Apple Shortcut available that will do that on my iOS devices?

FYI: I added a dropbox link and some usage instructions for the shortcut here: https://lemmy.ninja/post/56379

Ah, ran into an issue on iOS:

It looks like the action Get Details of Safari Web Page doesn't cause that error on iPhone. It can be set to grab the URL, too. Changing out the action didn't get it to work yet; I'll keep experimenting if I have time.

Unfortunately, the action doesn't seem to actually grab the URL from Safari. This isn't looking good.....

One quick note: be sure to go into the Details screen for the Shortcut and enable “show in share sheet” on iOS for it to appear there.

This is a necessary step for sure. I looked for it for a long time and eventually gave up. Thanks for the tip!

Wow, this is fantastic! Thank you so much for your time and work on it. I hope you enjoyed learning more about Shortcuts along the way. I’m going to set it up now!
