This extension helps users subscribed to Lemmy communities by adding an icon before mentions or URLs related to other communities. These mentions can be in the format “!communityname@instance.domain” or through URLs like “https://lemmy.ml/c/memes”.

By clicking the icon, users are directed to the kbin URL of that community. However, there’s currently a bug preventing it from working on /kbin (ironically), and I’ve already reported the issue on Git.

I’m in the process of publishing the extension on Firefox and Chrome extension stores, along with making the source code available.

I would appreciate your input on whether you find this extension useful.

Thank you!

    This extension searches the website you’re on for what I call mentions !gaming@beehaw.org and adds an icon with the kbin url of that community https://kbin.social/m/gaming@beehaw.org.
    And it also works for lemmy urls.
    For example: https://lemmy.ml/c/asklemmy will also get the same treatment and if you click on the icon you will go instead to https://kbin.social/m/asklemmy@lemmy.ml.
    The icon is that little purple thing you can see in the screenshot.
