Greetings, kbeans! I wanted to inform you that Kbin Link is now available on the Firefox Extension Store. If you’re interested, you can find more information about it here: https://github.com/driccio98/kbin-link.

Kbin Link is a browser extension designed to simplify your browsing experience across different online communities. It detects community mentions in the format of “!communityname@lemmy.world” and it recognizes links in the format of “https://lemmy.word/c/memes” across any website and adds a convenient icon at the beginning. This icon allows you to quickly redirect to the corresponding community on Kbin, where you can easily subscribe to it.

Since this is a small project, there may be a few bugs or areas for improvement. If you encounter any issues or have suggestions, please let me know by leaving an issue on the GitHub repository.

Edit: Soon on the chrome store too!

Thank you for your support!

    I’m sorry I don’t really understand…

    So, even if lemmy.world is overall federated with kbin.social, individual communities on other instances also have to be federated with their equivalent magazine here on kbin?

      Let’s say for example I create the community donuts@lemmy.world this community won’t show up on kbin unless someone searches for it, so that user has to search for donuts@lemmy.world on kbin so that kbin can discover that community and allow its users to see it and subscribe to it.
