Target Instance should be adjusted as needed.

Similar to this one: https://feddit.de/post/822722 which I didn't know about 20 minutes ago before being linked to this community.

Additional support for the Community Browser of feddit.de to make the process easier

~~/post/ and /comment/ are also a couple other url schemes you can navigate to and fix (e.g. the https://feddit.de/post/822722 link in the OP~~. Nvm I think I just realized these numbers aren't canonical across instances. Surely the backend has an ID that every instance shares - is this exposed on the frontend? It would be cool if we could just go to lemmy.site/a9637e6c-780a-4de0-b02e-8277a54cb978 and it would navigate us to the post we want.

Also, you might want to disconnect your observer while making changes, because I think any changes you make will cause some light recursion. An example of how I did it is here.

I did encounter the recursion problem during testing, it's already handled by checking if the link is set to the new domain.

Thanks.

P.S. If you change the filename extension to .user.js userscript managers will be able to pick it up once opened raw.

Thank you, that's easy enough to change.

I published basically the same script a few days ago except with comment support. We should all team up and turn it into one lol
