You're welcome, hope it helps!

The basic features should work with Lemmy and Kbin, but some of the new ones are unique to Lemmy for now, such as the error page replacement. I've found Kbin a little harder to work with because while it's more flexible, it's harder to make sure I'm avoiding unintended actions.

I don't think there are any limitations with behaw, at least with the current features.

I tested with mobile Firefox on an older version and it did work. However since you have to jump through hoops to install the extension in the first place, I haven't looked into it much more. If you try to install it from the store on mobile, it should say that it isn't compatible. :)

Oh ok thank you I'll look into it!

[–] cynber@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Thank you, I've just fixed it!

To clarify on the self promotion rule, this is a tool that I'm working on with others. Would it still be ok to post about it if it's free and open source?

I recently tried to get some self hosted music going, using old CDs I had for example. It's such a hassle moving things over, even when the automated software tags the files correctly (which only happened half the time)

TV and movies are easy enough to manage your own files for, because it's a lot more organized and categorizable. With music it's a mess, and not something worth doing for me.

Also I listen to so much music that it's nice being able to let it fetch similar music for hours and hours.

Thank you! I'm happy that people find it helpful :)

Hi there, sorry I responded to a lot of people but missed this one somehow.

It let me use completely different parts of reddit to express and explore different interests I think one of the things that made reddit the best social media platform was how pseudonymous it was. Total opposite of facebook “real name policy” attitude.

I did the exact same thing, and I've been trying to emulate this the best I can on Lemmy. The closest I've gotten is by using Firefox containers on the web, which lets me be signed in to multiple accounts. On mobile, there are a few apps that have multi-account support (I'm using Connect), but I haven't seen one where I can choose which account to comment with.

As for the extension, I added the ability to customize the instance list, which should help with quick switching! It should be in the next update :)

Unfortunately I can't seem to message on the other instance, maybe because it hasn't been fetched to Lemmy.ca yet. The message:

Hey, I'm working on a somewhat similar extension with some overlap. I see you posted about migrating to an extension, would you be open to collaborating?

I need to clean-up my code a little bit but I don't think it should be difficult consolidating the features. A lot of the groundwork is done already:)

It's https://lemmy.ca/instance_assistant if you wanted to see

Yep boost had this too and I used it fairly often.

An indicator for what user I'm commenting with would be most important. After that having the ability to drop a comment as a different signed in user would be really nice.

Thank you, done!

Still figuring out which communities to post future updates in.

Alternate link to community since some apps can't handle the ! format https://lemmy.ca/c/instance_assistant

Link to Edge version, since it got approved after the original post: https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/instance-assistant-for-le/hnlndgeokcaocdklkbfjbfjplfnedehb
