Currently only works for community/user links. > > > > ### Features > > > > * Rewrite links to Lemmy posts/comments to point to your home instance. Only after hovering over them, because getting home posts/comments links require communicating with the Lemmy servers, and we don't want to spam the servers. > > ! > > * Instantly rewrite all links of <em>communities</em> or <em>users</em> to Lemmy/kbin on all websites everywhere to your new instance! The rewritten links will have an icon next to it, and hovering/touching the icon will show you the original link, allowing you to go there if you want to. > > [!](https://greasyfork.org/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsibWVzc2FnZSI6IkJBaHBBNHUxQVE9PSIsImV4cCI6bnVsbCwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--ab4ca68d48f3174ff9fe6cfd7820c66fa4c08ee9/2023-06-23%2006_00_01.png?locale=en) > > > > * If you are already on a page that has a corresponding page on your home instance, a link will automatically be added to the page header. > > [!](https://greasyfork.org/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsibWVzc2FnZSI6IkJBaHBBeGEyQVE9PSIsImV4cCI6bnVsbCwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--e824ea55c69b88fb392b9ab0cfd093746ad255a0/2023-06-25%2004_58_33.webp?locale=en) > > > > > > ### Home Instance Setup > > > > Simply visit the Lemmy instance you want to set as your home while the script is active.

> Just in case anyone is using their account here to post to off-instance communities: those posts and comments seem to have a very high failure rate. There is a lot of activity and accounts on this instance. This is to raise awareness, not to pull people away or break up the lemmyverse. Quite the opposite really: there is a technical problem on this instance that might be preventing the lemmyverse from functioning as it should.
