Greetings, kbeans! I wanted to inform you that Kbin Link is now available on the Firefox Extension Store. If you’re interested, you can find more information about it here: https://github.com/driccio98/kbin-link.
Kbin Link is a browser extension designed to simplify your browsing experience across different online communities. It detects community mentions in the format of “[email protected]” and it recognizes links in the format of “https://lemmy.word/c/memes” across any website and adds a convenient icon at the beginning. This icon allows you to quickly redirect to the corresponding community on Kbin, where you can easily subscribe to it.
Since this is a small project, there may be a few bugs or areas for improvement. If you encounter any issues or have suggestions, please let me know by leaving an issue on the GitHub repository.
Edit: Soon on the chrome store too!

Thank you for your support!
Let’s say for example I create the community [email protected] this community won’t show up on kbin unless someone searches for it, so that user has to search for [email protected] on kbin so that kbin can discover that community and allow its users to see it and subscribe to it.
I think I get what you’re saying.
What’s the correct format for the url to put into the search bar, because nothing I’ve done has returned any results when I try to search for those communities from the comment I linked.
This one showed up.
Basically you look for them like [email protected]
Okay, I get it now, and I appreciate the hand-holding you’re doing here. It’s a wonder I’ve made it this far at all.
But now, this post has a link to [email protected], and if I click the icon i get sent here
https://kbin.social/m/!food@beehaw.orgwhich 404s, but if delete the ! from that URL it loads correctly. This seems wrong?No problem, I enjoy helping!
I will take a look at this to solve it. Thank you for reporting it.
Should be fixed for you shortly!
Yup, all fixed, thanks!
