Yo FIrefox just accepted my extension which makes interaction with other lemmy instances easier.
Chrome still tbc but Google should've accepted it by this time next week methinks.

It adds a small icon to other instances so that you can easily open it in your own lemmy instance for interaction etc.
It's simple, rough and ready but super useful, just input your lemmy instance in settings and then enable it for all sites or just the lemmy sites you want and hey presto.
Open for ideas, collaboration and feedback as always :)
LOL, well... Sh*t, you beat me too it, I was just working on that, err, well sorta. My idea was an extension to mark your primary instance, and then allow you to link back, no matter where or how you wind up on Lemmy. I even called mine Lemmy Instance Linker. xD
My prime example was getting tossed over to the lemmyrs.org instance from r/Rust, and not being able to easily follow it back from there, since I hadn't accessed it from pawb.social. So perhaps our extensions won't be redundant? Or maybe we should combine our efforts into one extension? x3
Regardless, nice work!
Oh thanks it's going to be usfulll .
