It's not an addon, but a userscript, and thus works everywhere: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/469273-lemmy-universal-link-switcher

@Azzurite Do you think it is possible to move the "home instance" switcher to a more convenient location (like the top of every page)?

For people who have >1 account it would be convenient. But I am not sure if could be done via userscript or full extension required.
