Been using this one for over a decade. Works with Firefox's bookmark keywords feature.

Make a new bookmark, set the link as follows:

https://lemmy.world/c/%s (or your own Lemmy instance)

And in the "Keyword" field, use "c" or "lemmy" or whatever.

Now, when you want to visit a specific Lemmy community on your home instance, you can simply type:

"c community_name" in the address bar, or "lemmy community_name" in Firefox and it will open the community.

This is brilliant!

EDIT: You might prefer %S to %s if you don't want special characters to be escaped. %s will turn the @ character into %40 in the URL, which means that if you write something like reddit@lemmy.ml it will open lemmy.world/c/reddit%40lemmy.ml and it will give you a 404: couldnt_find_community. However, %S works as it doesn't do URL encoding.
