Adding new communities is a bit of a pain due to having to copy and paste the links into the search page.

I was thinking it would be much easier if one could have a button on lemmyverse.net or browse.feddit.de next to the name of the community to open the community in your instance’s search page.

Example url:

[email protected] would open up in:

https://user.instance/search/q/!community%40instance.domain/type/All/sort/TopAll/listing_type/All/community_id/0/creator_id/0/page/1

Where user.instance is a variable that every user can fill in themselves in the script or in some other way.

I hope this is possible. Thank you <3

    I think that’s what this extension does: https://sh.itjust.works/post/92686.

    At least, that’s essentially how it works for me. I set my home instance and then if I click on any community link it opens on my home instance.

      Not exactly. It does but search the community and won’t work is the community does not already exist on that instance.

      I’m looking for a solution that can use the search option for communities that my instance does not already know.
