Glad to hear it :) Post/comment support is coming!

The functionality in this script is indeed only possible as an addon or userscript. Browsers specifically spent a lot of work trying to make it impossible for one site to get any information about which other sites the user visited, and for good reason. Just imagine the phishing this would allow if it were possible.

That said, there could of course be an official lemmy browser addon/userscript for this functionality. But it definitely wouldn’t be baked into the sites themselves.

Because idk if you noticed, but this script actually rewrites all links everywhere, so for example even if you get a result to some lemmy instance on duckduckgo, the link on duckduckgo itself will already point to your instance. Please tell me how that would be possible without an addon/userscipt :D

Very weird :D glad it works now though :)

Wild idea, but could it just be that you’re using it wrong? :D if you’re on lemmy.ca then almost nothing should be rewritten because almost all links already go to lemmy.ca. Only when you go to another instance somehow or a user posts a link, for example this one then it should be rewritten.

Anyway though, here is a debug version of the script: https://gitlab.com/-/snippets/2561468/raw/main/lemmy.user.js

To use, open the browser console, unselect all message types at the top right (errors, warnings, logs…) except for the “Debug” message type, then reload the page and right-click -> send me all messages.

I’m going to add a lot of logging and then give you a new version to try, then you can give me logs so I can diagnose this. There must be something weird about your setup, though I can’t guess what.

Does it work again when you do a full refresh? So F5/press enter in the adress bar? If so then somehow listening to page changes is broken for you, lemmy doesn’t actually load new pages when you click on an (instance-local) link, it just exchanges all the content within the currently loaded page.

Maybe try violentmonkey instead of greasemonkey, which does not seem to be in development anymore.

Yeah no idea, you can change DEBUG from true to false and see if it’s outputting any messages at all. I’d probably need to do some more advanced debugging steps, idk if you’re willing to do that

@admin@lemmit.online yeah I don’t know for some reason neither this nor my previous post gets picked up by the bot. Any idea why?

Go to https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/469273-lemmy-rewrite-links-to-home-instance and press the button there. There’s probably some throttling or whatever.

Yep I fucked up :D

That error’s irrelevant. Can you check that you have version 1.0.2 not 1.0.1?

Alrighty, try updating, I’ve released a new version.

What addon are you using for userscripts?

I don’t think your assumption on how well I understand how the professional world works is correct.

I understand very well that signing any NDA is by no means “zero risk”, it has a definite risk attached to it. Declining it is costly in some way, but also has definite advantages.

I also understand that very rarely is the phrasing ever “this conversation will be off the record”, but rather some phrasing including the specific topics that may not be shared, like you say for example, product details. Blanket phrasings like this are always very sketchy.

Stop using “All” “Hot/Active/Top” feeds and go search for actual content communities you want, by browsing the community lists, searching for your interests, or looking at new. Then just go to “Subscribed”.

This is not a proper talk by meta that you could just “hear them out”. They explicitly said off the record and confidential, there’s no reason for that if it’s something innocuous. There 100% would be an NDA involved.

The fediverse is all about being open, starting with an NDA is definitely not “zero risk”, you can not slip up ever, or you’re going to be destroyed by lawyers, this is the exact opposite of “zero risk”.

You could just make a simple duplicate email check with special special handling of gmails + and . behavior, and notify the user if they try to create an account for an already registered email.

Need to get a bit of feedback from you.

Any errors in the browser console (F12 by default)? So go to lemmy.ca, press F12, make sure the console is open, refresh, look for red error messages. If there are, copy them to me.

Went to bed after I posted this. Will take a look in a bit.
