I'm wrapping up with the new changes and I've started testing the extension for any remaining issues. Here is what you can look forward to:

Preview:

Changes with 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: This will pull the metadata from the page you are on and then open the post page in a new tab, autofilling in the title and URL. All you need to do is pick the community and hit 'Create'
    • Open Posts: This will check for any posts with the same URL, either as a link post or when the URL is in the post body. It will then open the post(s), but not before asking you when there are many posts. (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".
  • 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
  • General styling changes, wording improvements, and bugfixes
