I do wish something like AM’s functions was built into an all-in-one package manager for my distro. The closest I found was bauh which handles “AppImage, Debian and Arch Linux packages (including AUR), Flatpak, Snap and Web applications”. Which seems like an all-in-one solution.

But the problem with bauh (that last time I tried it) is that it accesses only a small number of (often very out-of-date) AppImages from the largely moribund AppImageHub.com, unlike AM, which pulls in the latest releases from loads of GitHub repos, and adds more on a frequent basis or request.

I use AM package manager for that.

Personally, I use AM. Takes care of that and more.

It is CLI and I’m GUI by nature, but AM is easy enough for me. Just yesterday I did a simple am -u and got the latest updated versions of qBittorrent, FreeTube, yt-dlp etc. (I.e. the kind of program that system packages are too out of date to work safely or even work at all.)

There are other options like zap (CLI), Gear Lever (GUI) and just recently I believe the Nitrux distro came out with a complete AppImage software manager. (Checking it out, https://github.com/Nitrux/nx-software-center , it seems it pulls from AppImageHub.com, which unfortunately has largely been forgotten by developers, a lot of software is either out of date, unverifiable or completely absent. AM is much more up-to-date, pulling the latest AppImages mostly from official GitHub repos.)

Great, thanks for the nightmares!

Blazin’ Bev?

¡Órale!

Ah, I tried removing just the alex. part , without success. Didn’t notice the duplication of the lemmy.ca/ part.

The evidence says no.

Does the linked clips icon for someone not on your server give a link to their server or one to Lemmy.ca?

Sorry, no idea. And I don’t know what the “linked clips icon” is.

Thanks for the info.

I’ve installed Violentmonkey… but I don’t know how to install the Lemmy link script.

I’ve read through the whole Azzurite page, still clueless.

I tried clicking on the Violentmonkey extension logo > Find scripts for this site, first GF, then OUJs, both “no scripts found”.

In case It was because I’m on a front end (alex), I also tried with a non-front-end page. GF: no scripts found. OUJS: Error 429 too many requests. Again 429 after several minutes.

Lemmyverse and lemshare both give an error if I give it a “front-end URL” (e.g. alex or tess) but work if I do several additional steps to get a “non-front-end” URL.

Thanks. At first I thought it didn’t work, but there’s a work around.

If I give it:

https://alex.lemmy.ca/lemmy.ca/post/42943146

I get:

This URL is not supported

If I give it (click “Original Post” button, page opens in new tab, regular web, not a front end like Alexandrite, copy from URL bar):

https://lemmy.ca/post/42943146

I get: https://lemsha.re/lemmy.ca/post/42943146

Clicking on that takes me to an intermediate page asking if I want to follow the link “as is” or visit on my instance.

So it is possible, with multiple additional steps when using a front end like Alex.

Thanks.

I’ve been trying out some front ends the last few weeks (Tess first, now Alexandrite) so didn’t see the rainbow button.

I think the equivalent in Alexandrite is the Original Post button, which for this post gives this:

https://lemmy.ca/post/42943146 (which opens in “regular” Lemmy web)

I don’t see one on comments.

If I give lemmyverse.link the URL straight from my current Alexandrite front end, it gives me an error:

https://alex.lemmy.ca/lemmy.ca/post/42943146

We don’t support this link :/

If you think that’s a mistake, please let us know on GitHub: https://github.com/RikudouSage/lemmyverse.link

Thanks for the details.
