i find it annoying to have to manually change urls to subscribe to a community outside lemmy.world, so i wrote a bookmarklet to quickly switch to the lemmy.world instance

to use, just drag the following code to your bookmarks bar (name it whatever you like), then click it when you want to use it

javascript:(function() {const myInst="lemmy.world";let currUrl=window.location.toString().split("/");let currInst=currUrl[2];currUrl[2]=myInst;let newUrl=currUrl.join("/")+"@"+currInst;window.location=newUrl;})())

readable version:

javascript:(
	function() {
		// make sure to change this if using on a different instance
		const myInst="lemmy.world";
		let currUrl=window.location.toString().split("/");
		let currInst=currUrl[2];
		currUrl[2]=myInst;
		let newUrl=currUrl.join("/")+"@"+currInst;
		window.location=newUrl;
	})

    i’m afraid i don’t. i did fiddle around a bit trying to find a relationship between url’s, but I couldn’t see one

    if anyone more familiar with lemmy/activitypub can tell me, I’ll update / add to the bookmarklet

        i’m glad that’s being tracked, as a bookmarklet is not really a great solution; but it’s still not a complete solution. if i visit a lemmy post from outside lemmy.world (e.g. search engine), then there’s no way to go to the l.w version (to my knowledge)
