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 :)
Have you considered modifying this to be a pull-request for lemmy-ui? It's cool to have an extension, but Lemmy being open-source makes it possible to merge the improvement upstream and make it better for everyone.
I've not tested it so I didn't enable it for android but I don't see why it wouldn't to be honest. It's getting late here now so I'll have a play tomorrow :)
Awesome, thanks! Definitely going to give it a try tomorrow.
Edit: Seems to work good so far, it's just what I wanted - something minimal and easy for viewing on the instance I'm using. Beats the quick little bookmarklet I made which was only good for specific pages.
I was just wishing for something like this also. The copy/paste/search/subscribe process is quite painful, and this gets past a lot of that. I'll give it a try right now (just set my instance up today) and try to contribute if I think of anything good.
