Very simple, from the source:

Lemmy Universal Link Switcher, or LULs for short, scans all links on all websites, and if any link points to a Lemmy instance that is not your main/home instance, it rewrites the link so that it instead points to your main instance.

In essence, any Lemmy link you come across is automatically redirected to your home instance. It’s also easy to customise, you can add/remove instances and prevent it from working on particular sites (or force it to only work on sites you wish).

Can be installed with Tampermonkey or ViolentMonkey (or similar tools).

note: this may also work just fine on mobile browsers that support extensions (and would likely help direct your browser to opening your lemmy app - if you have one - more often), but I haven’t tested this.

      I assume just via the normal desktop site? I tried that back when I very first started with Lemmy but I quickly switched to using the Voyager web app just because I like the app features and especially the post layout. I might have to give the default web interface another shot as I only tried way back when I first switched over.
