Came across this excellent #Firefox add-on which removes one of the main aspects of clunkiness about Mastodon's #federation presently - it lets you follow someone from a different Mastodon server _without_ having to type in your full username and server and get redirected first!
(it automatically handles the redirection for you so you just need to click "follow")

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

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.

@tazz602 Didn't seem to be any comparable plugin on Chrome when I had a look sadly! Since both Firefox and Chrome extensions use WebExtensions I guess it might be cross-compatible, but no idea if it is, sorry!

On Android I mainly use Tusky, but do fall back to the official app sometimes.. Both annoyingly support some features the other lacks.

Taken a look at some other apps people often recommend too like Fedilab, but the UI being so poor in comparison is a non-starter for me

@r0bbie Yeah - I'm playing with Fedlab now - might try Tusky next - just gotta see what works best for me.
