I’m planning on upgrading lemmy to v0.18.0 tonight, probably around 9pm CDT. So there will be a bit of downtime, but I don’t think it should take too long....
I installed it on Firefox with Greasemonkey. I don't get the dialog asking if I want to set my instance to my home instance, and I have no button in my settings. So, at the moment, the script appears to be inoperative.
Edit: Tried a few more things. I visited several other instances, other than my home instance of lemmy.ca, and still don't get any dialog about setting an instance to my home instance. Greasemonkey shows the script as enabled, but that's it. I'm running Firefox 114.0.2 on Arch Linux.
Edit2: Attempted to post an issue at the referenced Gitlab page, but this page does not exist, and a search for this project was a dead end. I have disabled the script until/unless the authors provide more information as to what is going on.
Script error in [Greasemonkey script http://azzurite.tv//Lemmy - Rewrite Links to Home Instance; version 1.0.0]: ReferenceError: GM_getValue is not defined
Got the 'home instance' dialog this time. Briefly checked it out, some of the links seem to be now directed towards my home instance, but there are no icons beside any link to show the original link as indicated in the description above.
Edit: Noticed the following error in the console:
Source map error: Error: URL constructor: tippy-bundle.umd.min.js.map is not a valid URL. Resource URL: user-script:http%3A//azzurite.tv//Lemmy%20-%20Rewrite%20Links%20to%20Home%20Instance Source Map URL: tippy-bundle.umd.min.js.map
...and I spoke too soon. Worked fine when I installed it. As soon as I went to another page on the instance it stopped working again. No icons, no button in settings. No idea what's going on.
Yup, that's my thinking too that there must be something weird going on here, though I can't imagine what.
Just for fun, I fired up Chrome instead of Firefox, installed violentmonkey, installed your script, and am having the exact same issue there! I did get the dialog asking me to set the home instance, which I did, but no button in settings and no icons. No idea what's going on.
Wild idea, but could it just be that you’re using it wrong? :D if you’re on lemmy.ca then almost nothing should be rewritten because almost all links already go to lemmy.ca. Only when you go to another instance somehow or a user posts a link, for example this one then it should be rewritten.
I did think of that! Sure wouldn't be the first time I've done something like that, hehehe!! But no. For example, I'm on lemmy.ca, so I tried going to lemmy.ml and lemmy.world to see what the links looked like there. One of those I have a different account which I was logged in to, and the other I have no account so wasn't signed in. Nothing.
However, I've been trying a few things here, including disabling all my other extensions and scripts, which didn't make any difference. So then I left every extension disabled, removed your script, removed the few other scripts I installed in violentmonkey, removed violentmonkey, reinstalled violentmonkey and your script....and it was working again once more. So, I figured some other script or extension was causing havoc, so I renabled the other extensions and reinstalled the other scripts one by one, checking each time. They're all enabled again. Still working. I dunno....... Obviously something really weird is happening on my end. Right now, it's working, so I'll let you know if it starts to act odd again. My thinking right now is some other extension or script was messing something up big time, and all the disabling and re-enabling sorted it out somehow.
My working hypothesis right now: The issue wasn't your script, it was something else on my system.

Yes, that's a good point. The person asking the question will never see any responses here. As of right now the bot I'm using does not have any capability to filter those out. I could delete them manually I suppose, or leave them and just let people discuss them anyway.
Fighter planes in the 1950s used the Bendix Central Air Data Computer to determine air speed, mach number, altitude and so forth from pressure. It is electromechanical, using gears and synchros for its computations. Amazingly, it is modular and can be easily disassembled....
What happens when a community in Lemmy is left without a moderator?
Each person who has posted in that community in the last year must join in group ritualistic combat with each other. The venue, type of combat, and weapons are decided based upon the topic of the community. So quite easy for communities about knife making or baseball, and somewhat murkier for communities about etymology. The first person to lose in combat and the last person standing are indentured into permanent moderation duties. The instance administrator referees and judges the event.
