Read this post and wrote a simple Tampermonkey script as a solution.
// ==UserScript==
// @name Fix community link
// @version 0.1
// @description try to take over the world!
// @match https://sh.itjust.works/post/*
// ==/UserScript==
(function() {
'use strict';
const postLinks = document.getElementById("postContent").querySelectorAll("a:not(.community-link)") // get every links that is NOT a community link
const fixLink = (aTags) => {
for (let aTag of aTags) {
const isCommunityLink = aTag.pathname.startsWith("/c/");
aTag.href = isCommunityLink?aTag.pathname + "@" + aTag.host:aTag.href
};
}
fixLink(postLinks)
const comments = document.getElementsByClassName("comment-content");
for (let comment of comments) {
let commentLinks = comment.querySelectorAll("a:not(.community-link)");
fixLink(commentLinks)
}
})();
Any advice? I especially hate the fact that the way to check if it’s a link for lemmy community is through pathname but I thought there’s can’t be a real solution besides listing all the lemmy instances or actually making a request somehow.
Any inputs are welcome!
Interesting idea. I’m currently working on a Lemmy-ui fork for my instance and including a feature of this kind in the frontend would be kinda nice.
I’ll bookmark this and come back if I ever get to it.
