Yeah, I understand what you mean (after a year of exploring the Web Socket).
That lemmy auth value is pulled from a JWT cookie in the browser - which you can access in JS by document.cookie. It allows user-specific API calls (retrieving saved posts, subscribed communities, etc).
Yes exactly - living on the edge!
One way to learn the new API is - explore the code of (similar) extensions and browser scripts, to see how they build and send their calls.
Is there a specific API call you'd like to make?
Maybe someone can reveal that method and endpoint.
This User Script called Fediverse Redirector auto-redirects all Community, Post, and User pages to your home instance. It works well.
Just click install on that page - it will be added to TamperMonkey (or similar).
Then click settings (under the script) and enter your home lemmy instance.
And to directly answer your question: the raw code is visible in that repo, so you could explore how the post redirect query was constructed.
Just pick one of the suggestions and start doing it.
There are a lot of great ideas in your other post.
Yes, this issue has been fixed and merged into 18.1 (the next lemmy version).
You can see the lemmy-UI github issue here.
You can see the fix/merge here.
And as a temporary fix (until 18.1 releases) - if you click the “create post” button, then click the "back" button, the subscribe button should magically appear.
You can see all open feature-requests and bugs in the memmy github repo.
In some cases, you can read dev comments about fixing that issue.
That’s true - Lemmy displays new comments above “top” comments, allowing them to be seen by everyone.
It’s fun to run test builds - and I love when a new version is ready.
And the new text-size slider is most excellent.
To find new communities - go to https://lemmyverse.net/communities, click the top right "Home" icon and input your home instance (ex: lemmy.world)... now you can open/subscribe to every community you like.
Get a good mobile app - they are listed here (with a ton of other great new-user tips): https://lemmy.ml/post/1470777
Change your default "Sort Type" to "Subscribed + New" (in settings) - now you have a fresh feed of your exact interests, every time you open Lemmy.
Communicate in a genuine, open-minded way - to me, Lemmy is a good place to really connect with people, and have honest discussions (versus the often more 'performative' tone of greeddit).
This cleans up the post info very well - it looks great, thank you :)
I think you have to select multiple languages in settings.
Select "Undetermined, English, and any others" (and then save).
(this language setting affects the web app, mobile app, and search results)
That might fix it buddy.
