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 the servers.
  

• Instantly rewrite all links of community or user links to Lemmy/kbin on all websites everywhere to your new instance! The rewritten links will have an icon next to it, and hovering/touching the icon will show you the original link, allowing you to go there if you want to.
  

• If you are already on a page that has a corresponding page on your home instance, a link will automatically be added to the page header.
  

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!

Common Issues

• Does not work with Greasemonkey. Use Violentmonkey (open source) or Tampermonkey (closed source) instead.

Coming soon

• Rewrite kbin post/comment links
• Better rewriting support for kbin community/user urls (e.g. sort options are currently ignored)
• Nicer tooltip styling (fit into page theme)
• Signify that “Show at home” button is loading for posts/comments
