Huh that's odd, I'll give it a try later. It might have been something to do with the 'https://' possibly?
Yes pretty much 😄 you need to set it manually.
Eventually I want to allow a user to set multiple, so if you're signed in on multiple instances you can redirect accordingly.
That would be helpful, and with a quick look I think there's an API for that which I can use. Thanks for the idea!
I will fix the generated code so that the copy and paste works as well. I was mostly focussing on the button and... clearly didn't test the codes enough.
The "type unknown" refers to the type of instance (lemmy vs. kbin), and you can use the "Toggle home instance type" to change it. It exists because lemmy uses "/c/" for community links, while kbin uses "/m/", and the extension needs to know what kind of link to generate. By default, it generates Lemmy style links.
I am planning to add a little (?) help icon to each button, which might help with confusing bits like this in the future.
Hope that helps, and thank you for the feedback!
Hope it works well, feedback is welcome :))
fixed!
That’s something my extension actually helps with as well :)

I'm the dev of the "Instance Assistant" browser extension. If you could please add the following links:
- Firefox: link (addons.mozilla.org)
- Chrome: link (chrome.google.com)
- Community: !instance_assistant@lemmy.ca
- GitHub: https://github.com/cynber/lemmy-instance-assistant
One that is more specific to Lemmy, which I am working on
While this is extension is mine and I have an obvious bias, I am using the extension constantly for my personal use as well. Might be nice for others too :)
Cool ok I'll experiment a little bit with a few other popular instances
