I use a browser extension on my computer to easily switch a community to my own instance so I may subscribe. Is there an Apple Shortcut available that will do that on my iOS devices?

I had never made one of these, so I spent some time learning how it's done. Follow these instructions to create your own shortcut in Mac OS.

  1. Open Shortcuts
  2. Select Menu Bar from the left column
  3. Click the plus button to create a new shortcut
  4. Select Web from the categories list on the right
  5. Double-click Open URLs from the Safari group to add it to the main pain. (Or drag it over there.)
  6. Click on "URL" in the Open bubble to make it editable, and enter https://lemmy.ninja (or your preferred site) as the URL.
  7. Click on the menu bar next to the close, minimize, and maximize buttons and give this shortcut a name, such as Lemmy.
  8. Press enter to save it.

At this point you can close the window and you'll see your shortcut in the Menu Bar group. Click the play button to invoke it. You'll also see your new Lemmy shortcut in the shortcut menu on your menu bar.
