The functionality in this script is indeed only possible as an addon or userscript. Browsers specifically spent a lot of work trying to make it impossible for one site to get any information about which other sites the user visited, and for good reason. Just imagine the phishing this would allow if it were possible.

That said, there could of course be an official lemmy browser addon/userscript for this functionality. But it definitely wouldn't be baked into the sites themselves.

Because idk if you noticed, but this script actually rewrites all links everywhere, so for example even if you get a result to some lemmy instance on duckduckgo, the link on duckduckgo itself will already point to your instance. Please tell me how that would be possible without an addon/userscipt :D

Wild idea, but could it just be that you're using it wrong? :D if you're on lemmy.ca then almost nothing should be rewritten because almost all links already go to lemmy.ca. Only when you go to another instance somehow or a user posts a link, for example this one then it should be rewritten.

Anyway though, here is a debug version of the script: https://gitlab.com/-/snippets/2561468/raw/main/lemmy.user.js

To use, open the browser console, unselect all message types at the top right (errors, warnings, logs...) except for the "Debug" message type, then reload the page and right-click -> send me all messages.

Does it work again when you do a full refresh? So F5/press enter in the adress bar? If so then somehow listening to page changes is broken for you, lemmy doesn't actually load new pages when you click on an (instance-local) link, it just exchanges all the content within the currently loaded page.

Obviously this is good :D but how they're expressing this makes it sound as if they hadn't known that gameplay updates were popular with the players.

Of course they knew that, they're not totally incompetent. Just like any corporation, battle pass was prioritized because it generated the most revenue.

But now they noticed, that maybe only focusing on the battle pass and (eventually) losing all players who are the ones buying the battle pass is actually pretty bad for battle pass sales as well, since the people buying the battlepass would just not be there anymore to buy it.

So of course now they move back to more focus on gameplay updates, to get more/retain customers for the battle pass.

Of course they can't say it like this, that's why they have to sound as if they were incompetent and really thought cosmetics rather than gameplay updates were the most important thing for the players.
