I made a userscript (eventually converted into a userstyle) so I could go sightseeing across lemmy and spot all you animals out in the wild. pawb.social, pawb.fun, and furry.engineer are pre-filled already, but you can add other servers to track as well!

Edit: Special mention to redyoshi49q@furry.engineer for this post, whose techniques resulted in CSS to achieve parity with my userscript. My older userscript should not be used anymore, as the CSS will do the same thing but more efficiently.

Instructions:

  1. Install Stylus extension for firefox/chrome

  2. “Write new style” in the addon settings

  3. Copy paste the CSS code below in

  4. Modify the code around line ~11 in order to reflect your homeserver and any additional frendservers that you want to highlight. Currently it’s set to pawb.social and the mastodon servers that pawb.social also operates, but feel free to add some of the furry instances below as well (post in the comments if you’ve got a good furry instance to add here!):

  1. Modify the code around line ~19 to reflect your homeserver

  2. (Optional) If you’d like your homeserver buddies to have a different marker, uncomment the various sections around line ~27 through ~50 by removing the /* and */ bits

  3. (Optional) Play around with different markers and colors!

    I love this concept! Another prominent instance that comes to mind is meow.social I’m looking forward to playing with this after work _

      I’m on meow.social, it’s a good instance but it is quite large and is near the limits of what it can handle, I believe. The Fediverse does better spread across smaller instances.

      I signed up about five years ago back when it was smaller; then snouts.online went down, and a lot of users migrated to meow.
