[Request] Button for lemmyverse.net or browse.feddit.de to open community in your instance's search page (yiffit.net)

Adding new communities is a bit of a pain due to having to copy and paste the links into the search page.

I was thinking it would be much easier if one could have a button on lemmyverse.net or browse.feddit.de next to the name of the community to open the community in your instance's search page.

Example url:

[email protected] would open up in:

https://user.instance/search/q/!community%40instance.domain/type/All/sort/TopAll/listing_type/All/community_id/0/creator_id/0/page/1

Where user.instance is a variable that every user can fill in themselves in the script or in some other way.

I hope this is possible. Thank you <3

I think that's what this extension does: https://sh.itjust.works/post/92686.

At least, that's essentially how it works for me. I set my home instance and then if I click on any community link it opens on my home instance.

Not exactly. It does but search the community and won't work is the community does not already exist on that instance.

I'm looking for a solution that can use the search option for communities that my instance does not already know.

So, I made something that you might be looking for that pairs with what mershed linked pretty well. https://reddthat.com/post/69331 If you try to open up something in a local instance and it fails because it doesn't find it, it should take you to the search like I think you're wanting.

My first script for something like this and on tampermonkey though, so let me know if it's not working or not what you're looking for.
