I made a “Share to Lemmy” bookmarklet to easily share content to Lemmy, maybe you want one too? If you don’t know what it is, it’s a bookmark that runs a small piece of code - In this case, it shares the page you’re currently on to Lemmy. If your browser have a bookmark bar, you’re always just a click away from a pre-filled share screen on your home instance.

It should work in all desktop browsers.

  • Copy and tweak the code, replace nrsk.no with your home instance

  • Create a new bookmark, the tweaked code goes in the URL field

  • Click the bookmark while on a page you want to share

javascript:void%20function(){var%20t=document.URL,o=document.title;window.location.href=%22https://nrsk.no/create_post%3Furl=%22+t+%22%26title=%22+o}();

    The more the merrier. All browsers + no addon … sounds like a clean option.

    How is it different from Fedishare other than one being an addon and the other bookmarklet? https://codeberg.org/meztli/fedishare

      I used Fedishare before. But since I only shared to Lemmy, having a full extension with support for a ton of federated services seemed overkill. A bookmarklet uses no extra resources (although I believe dormant extensions uses close to nothing). And the biggest drawback of Fedishare is that it’s only available for Firefox.

      There’s only one click, compared to Fedishare’s two, if that’s a bother as well. 😁

        Thank you. I think we should start documenting Lemmy Resources so new members get the collective progress made so far without having to wait for luck in finding them.
