Narwhal2 Redirect for Reddit Links

This UserScript will rewrite all links pointing to reddit to instead open in the Narwhal2 app for iOS / iPadOS

Why?

I’m mainly using this script from ViolentMonkey inside Orion but I’ve come across a number of iOS browsers that fail to open reddit deep-links in Narhwal automatically and I hate to have to open reddit, click on an open-in button and then close the reddit tab.

Install Instructions for iOS / iPadOS

If you use Safari:

install Stay (you don’t need the Pro purchase)

open Stay and follow the setup instructions to enable the Extension in Safari

allow “always enabled on all pages”

open the link to my UserScript

click “Install this Script”

click “I already have a userscript manager”

click “Install this Script” again

click on the Stay-icon that appears in the bottom right

If you use a browser with Chrome or Firefox Extension support like Orion:

install ViolentMonkey from here

open the link to my UserScript

click “Install this Script”
