A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

This is great! Feature request... Can you add this functionality to allow people to sub to these communities easy. It's what I'm doing in a little javascript that has helped me tremendously!

  • Set a homeInstance type variable (ie; https://lemmy.ml) - manually inputted or select from found instances?
  • Add a button that links to "homeInstance + "/search/q/!" + community + "@" + site + "/type/All/sort/TopAll/listing_type/All/community_id/0/creator_id/0/page/1""
    • site is remoteinstance.whatever

That will take someone straight to being able to sub from their instance.

For anyone wanting my javascript that helps with subbing. Check my post here: https://thesimplecorner.org/post/4320

looks like OP is not one of the devs of this site. You should forward this idea to the github page that is linked there, as it's a great idea.
