Instance Assistant v1.2.6

• added ability to redirect user profile pages

Instance Assistant v1.2.5

• Redirect posts to your home instance!: Post pages now have a redirect button that will find the same post on your home instance(1)
• Posts related to this webpage buttons in the extension popup
  • Make a post: You can now create a post from any webpage! Click the 'Make a Post' button in the extension popup or sidebar to generate a draft post with autofilled title, URL, and body contents. Afterwards, just select a community and hit post. (This currently works for both Lemmy & Kbin, but custom frontends are untested while they develop). Try it here: https://lemmy.ca/post/4478560
  • Open Posts: This will find any posts about the webpage/article/video that you are looking at. Use it to see if something has already been posted, or to find related discussions about it. When there are multiple posts, it will ask before opening them all. (see note on why it doesn't count automatically)
• Post an image: You can now right-click on an image, anywhere on the web, and hit "Post this image". It will open a new tab and autofill the title, image link, and add the URL to the body as "Source: URL". Try it here: https://lemmy.ca/post/1282303
• Reorganizing popup:
  • I fixed the issue where the popup would still display a button after removing all instances from the list.
  • The number of default instances in the popup was reduced to 4
• Added settings:
  • You can now hide onboardining guides to make the interfaces less wordy
• General styling changes, wording improvements, and bugfixes

1. This is an important feature to me because this little annoyance was part of why I set out to create the extension in the first place. Thanks to some help from @zero_gravitas, I was able to use the Lemmy API to grab the post details, and then run a search for it on your home instance. While most posts should only bring one result, there is a chance that there are multiple posts by the same user, in the same community, with the same title. If this is an issue, I'll make this search more specific.

Instance Assistant v1.2.4

• search for communities through Lemmyverse.net or for posts through lemmy-search directly from the popup or sidebar
• First feature pulled from LemmyTools! You now have the option to hide the Lemmy sidebar, so you have more room for posts (more LemmyTools features to come!)
• Replaced non-functional 'subscribe' button on foreign /communities pages to make them useful (only when no account is signed in, so not to replace something functional)
• Initial support for Alexandrite & Photon frontends. Test them here:
  • Alexandrite: https://a.lemdro.id/c/lemdroid
  • Photon: https://nu.lemdro.id/c/lemdroid
  • New 'communityNotFound' button to account for alternate frontends: https://lemmy.ca/c/lemdroid@nu.lemdro.id
• Fix for generated link on CommunityNotFound pages
• Biggest change was behind the scenes: Completely refactored the code to move repetitive functions to a utils.js file. Should be a lot easier for people to collaborate and to maintain

Instance Assistant v1.2.3

• You can now customize the instance list to match which instances you actually use. This should be helpful for those that have accounts on different instances.
• Added a settings page so that you can turn off features that you don't want active
• Added buttons for helpful tools that let you explore Lemmy/Kbin communities (with lemmyverse.net), and search across Lemmy sites (with search-lemmy.com).
• Added a sidebar for those that prefer it (works on Firefox, Chrome & Opera; Edge doesn't have sidebars yet but the code is there)
• Fix for issues with the search trigger on the community not found page (thank-you to whqwert!)
• Various bugfixes, small theme changes, and improved wording
