firefox (and chrome) addons that help navigating instances en (kbin.social)

If you are looking for assistance in trying to interact with pages found on instances other than the one on which you have an account, here is what I believe is available so far.

you can see the same information as a table here.

note: this information will certainly become out of date in the near future. I advise you to conduct a fresh search for up to date information

Update July 3, 2023: I fixed the links hopefully. While I was doing that, I included links to chrome store where developer provided them. But I didn't search the chrome store itself.

Lemmy Link

I also made a thread for some kbin userscripts/extensions to make things a bit easier. see here.

notably I highly suggest kbin enhancement script which adds a lot of usability and quality of life features.

Hi I installed via greasemonkey and it took me a while of switching on/off to discern a ny difference.

All I can see is that for thread pages, top level comments, at the bottom, there is a link toggle replies (x) (x = # of replies) which hides comments below.

I disabled any other plugin/userstyle/userscript that might be acting on lemmy/kbin.

If you check the sidebar settings you can see a list of stuff that you can toggle with kbin enhancement script. Things such as showing the host instance for a user/magazine, moving the comment box to the top of comments, letting you collapse comment threads, showing the OP in a thread, etc. it does a lot of the things I felt kbin was lacking.

Aha! I see now. I thought I looked there before but missed the difference. Thanks!

The kbin link is dead.
here's the current url for the addon: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/kbin-link/

Not relevant to this thread, but for those interested, it's also available for Chromium browsers here.

thanks! actually all the links were broken :) I got a little carried away with regex tidying it up I think. Should all be fixed
