You get annoyed by having to enter your #Mastodon handle each time you want to follow/interact with someone on a "foreign" page?

I got that too, so I've made a little add-on to solve this "problem". 😃

It automatically "redirects" you to your own instance.

Mastodon – Simplified Federation! – Get this Extension for 🦊 Firefox (en-US)

Download Mastodon – Simplified Federation! for Firefox. Simplifies following or interacting with other users on remote Mastodon instances in the Fediverse. It skips the “Enter your Mastodon handle” popup and takes you to your own “home” instance, without entering your Mastodon handle on remote instances.

@rugk That is pretty cool.

@rugk actually no. my browser fills it in.

so i wouldn't install an additional extension for that.

@davidak "fills it in"?

@rugk the browser (chromium) saves form input and offers to fill it in when you click in a form.

for example, when you have an address form, you click in the name field, select your name that was saved from previous address forms and it fills in all fields with your address. very comfortable :)

@davidak uhh sorry, I did mistake what toot you replied too…

Okay, yes autofill can be a solution, but with the add-on it skips the popup completely, i.e. directly loads the correct site: that is 3 clicks less…

(FIrefox of course can also do autofill.)

@davidak BTW if you are interesting in a chrome/ium port of the add-on feel free to open an issue (or even PR 😜)…

@rugk like i said i never considered it an issue

you could do it for other users if you like or at least create an issue, so they know it would be possible and maybe someone PR

@rugk hello #Fediverse, I use this and it helps me a lot. Thanks Rugk.
@rugk
Very neat, thanks for your add-on!
@rugk yeah, I use it, it's so good
@rugk This sounds useful! Any chance we could get a version compatible with waterfox classic? (I have no idea how much effort it is to make it compatible, so if it's too much effort don't bother)

@rugk
Cool ! Installed (latest firefox) and works well. That's a nice little help.

@rugk You can also use the web UI: copy and paste a toot or user account into the Search bar, and interact with it directly.

If you're using a full-featured client like Fedilab, long-pressing on an element (Fav/Boost/Follow) may also allow you to choose your account, if you are logged into more than one.

@rugk Die Idee ist super, geklappt hat es nicht. Die Bestätigung per Mail kam, aber das Paket hab ich trotzdem im Shop holen müssen.
@minipilot ich glaube du hast auf den falschen Toot geantwortet, aber okay hehe
@rugk ah genau was ich brauche!
