Thank you, hope it helps!

I’ll see if I can roll this into a future update for !instance_assistant@lemmy.ca . I wanted to try and get a “post to Lemmy” button working, and this is a part of that. Looks like the reddit one was done using a Reddit API, and while the Lemmy ones are different it shouldn’t be too bad.

UPDATE: I’m able to search for links within the body of posts, but haven’t figured out why it doesn’t search the links yet. I’ll look into it later

The only limitation might be that the search is limited to a particular instance. Since there is an unlimited number of instances, I don’t think there’s an easy way to search them all without some external service doing some caching of some kind. We could have it search a bunch of different instances, but I want to minimize unnecessary / spammy requests.

@Bucky@816am.ddns.net, is it important for the extension icon to display the number, or did you usually run a manual search?****

have control of your local network

traffic of a particular kind

Could you give an example of what this looks like? I’m sure I’ll have friends sending me similar articles / YouTube videos. Would be nice to have a simple and accurate analogy
