Lemmy.ML Community By New – Get this Extension for 🦊 Firefox (en-US)

Download Lemmy.ML Community By New for Firefox. Sorts the searched-for lemmy community by new. So 'c printsf' will return the printsf community already ordered by newest items first.

Hi everyone,

So I have created a “sublemmy” add-on for lemmy.ml that lets you quickly jump to a community from the address bar in FireFox. Just type ‘c firefox’, for example, and it will go there and sort the community by new. Useful if you have a few communities you want to check regularly and quickly from any new browser window.

The one caveat is that this tool only works for the website lemmy.ml because that is the site hardwired into the search string, alas. Not sure if there is a way around that (that would maybe take 2 arguments instead of one?) but that’s where it’s at for now.

Link is included if anyone wants to use it!

    Would be great to have an option to choose what community you want to use, not just lemmy.ml

      Totally agree! I think that is not so simple as this is alas, and would require an actual add-on instead of just a super simple chrome modification.

        Ahh, I thought it was an actual add-on, I just saw your other comment with the manifest.

        Yeah, that’s an option too, but it’ll require the user to know the parameters required.
        In the extension there could be a settings page with specific dropdowns for the extension to automatically create the URL required.

          Like…a set of bookmarks? I mean, if you really want an extension, thats fine, but it seems like both browsers have these features pretty well solved.
