LemmyTools
greasyfork.org
A small suite of tools to make Lemmy easier.

cross-posted from: https://thesimplecorner.org/post/112995

I wanted to get this update out… As I believe the top bar is entirely more usable than the sidebar. It is of basic functionality and works nicely. Next release will allow you to pin favorite communities to the top bar (shown when you are not searching for a community).

Also, exciting news, we are beginning to explore adding LemmyTools functionality to the “Instance Assistant for kbin & lemmy!” by cynber browser addon found: https://github.com/cynber/lemmy-instance-assistant & [email protected].

For now, I will keep the updates for the UserScript version of LemmyTools as is while integration into the addon is being worked.

I am having a lot going on in my personal life so that is why updates are a bit slower. Thank you to cwagner for making the lovely user tagger feature as of last release as that is a nifty feature.

Please feel free to tell me what you think about everything.

Installation and Configuration:

1 - Browser must have a Userscript addon (Tampermonkey, Greasemonkey, Etc…). Tested with Greasemonkey.

2 - Download either the .JS file or install from greasyfork.

3 - Set home lemmy instance via options page once script is loaded (and manually edit the homeInstance variable in script for all functionality)

This script is all done by a complete amateur for fun. Enjoy and feel free to fork it!

Get it here: Github or GreasyFork

    Awesome, thanks for the update and new features!

    Would it be possible to make the script work with old.lemmy.ca (and old.lemmy.world, etc) as well? The lack of access to subscribed communities on the old.* frontend, despite its advantages, makes it borderline unusable.

      Perhaps, I see why it’s not working. The old.site doesn’t have the lemmy identifier tag that I’m using to detect and run the script only on lemmy sites. I’ll see if it’s possible without too much work.

        Thanks, I’ll take a look and give this a try.

        Edit: Looks like the subscribed communities dropdown has been added to the latest version of mlmym so perhaps I won’t need it on the old.lemmy.* sites
