JS Bookmarklet for Switching to lemmy.world - Lemmy.world

i find it annoying to have to manually change urls to subscribe to a community outside lemmy.world, so i wrote a bookmarklet to quickly switch to the lemmy.world instance to use, just drag the following code to your bookmarks bar (name it whatever you like), then click it when you want to use it javascript:(function() {const myInst="lemmy.world";let currUrl=window.location.toString().split("/");let currInst=currUrl[2];currUrl[2]=myInst;let newUrl=currUrl.join("/")+"@"+currInst;window.location=newUrl;})()) readable version: javascript:( function() { // make sure to change this if using on a different instance const myInst="lemmy.world"; let currUrl=window.location.toString().split("/"); let currInst=currUrl[2]; currUrl[2]=myInst; let newUrl=currUrl.join("/")+"@"+currInst; window.location=newUrl; }) ()

also, you should replace const myInst="lemmy.world"; with const myInst = window.location.hostname;, it automatically fetches what instance you're on.
that (unless i'm misunderstanding) isn't the point of it. it's made for quickly taking you from e.g. https://lemmy.ml/c/jerboa to https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected], so it needs a const to know which instance to take you to
