Been using this one for over a decade. Works with Firefox’s bookmark keywords feature.
Make a new bookmark, set the link as follows:
https://lemmy.world/c/%s (or your own Lemmy instance)
And in the “Keyword” field, use “c” or “lemmy” or whatever.
Now, when you want to visit a specific Lemmy community on your home instance, you can simply type:
“c community_name” in the address bar, or “lemmy community_name” in Firefox and it will automatically open the community.
This is brilliant!
EDIT: You might prefer
%S
to%s
if you don’t want special characters to be escaped.%s
will turn the @ character into %40 in the URL, which means that if you write something likereddit@lemmy.ml
it will open lemmy.world/c/reddit%40lemmy.ml and it will give you a404: couldnt_find_community
. However,%S
works as it doesn’t do URL encoding.I didn’t know about
%S
. That’s cool.
