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:

!community@instance.domain 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

    So, I made something that you might be looking for. https://reddthat.com/post/69331 If you try to open up something in a local instance and it fails because it doesn’t find it, it should take you to the search like I think you’re wanting.

    My first script for something like this and on tampermonkey though, so let me know if it’s not working or not what you’re looking for.

      Update: works like a charm. It also works incredibly well with lemmyverse.net when you’ve set you’re home instance on there.

      Thank you so much <3
