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!

    A CSS script could do that… if the :has() selector is supported.

    With that said, I’ve recently run into issues with that selector not being supported (due to it being recent CSS spec) in two different (but not recently updated) user style extensions that I’ve tried it with (in one, it is entirely unrecognized; in the other, you get errors when trying to do nontrivial things in the :has() ).

    I could copy/paste some example user CSS for you if you’d like to see if you can get it working.
