"Share to Lemmy" bookmarklet: Easy sharing without browser extensions - NRSK (nrsk.no)
 

cross-posted from: https://nrsk.no/post/112817

I made a "Share to Lemmy" bookmarklet to easily share content to Lemmy, maybe you want one too? If you don't know what it is, it's a bookmark that runs a small piece of code - In this case, it shares the page you're currently on to Lemmy. If your browser have a bookmark bar, you're always just a click away from a pre-filled share screen on your home instance.

It should work in all desktop browsers.

  • Copy and tweak the code, replace nrsk.no with your home instance

  • Create a new bookmark, the tweaked code goes in the URL field

  • Click the bookmark while on a page you want to share

javascript:void%20function(){var%20t=document.URL,o=document.title;window.location.href=%22https://nrsk.no/create_post%3Furl=%22+t+%22%26title=%22+o}();

The only mastodon instance that I can federate with so far is qoto.org ; all other instances, if I search for, brings up my username i.e., arinbasu@lemmy.ml and allows me to follow. But then, they state, "request sent". In lemmy itself, I do not see anywhere I can approve such requests. I think friendica works, but have not had enough experience, and it is not a mastodon instance. I also tried to use pleroma, but pleroma too has the same issue, i.e., request sent and that's it.

Is the new official Mastodon client worth it? in c/mastodon@lemmy.ml

Mastodon client has a better designed UI, but it does not support multiple accounts. If you are happy interacting with a single Mastodon instance, I'd say it is a very good app.
