Mastodawn

One thing that’s a bit of a hassle with Mastodon is that you can’t immediately follow people on other instances.

You have to copy the username and search for it on the server that has your account.

To make this easier, I’ve created a little bookmarklet. Press it, and you’ll be taken to the same account as viewed from the masto host you are on.

(Change the value of `MY_MASTO_HOST` in the code to your mastodon host –not URL– and you’re good to go)

Mastodon User Page Bookmarklet. GitHub Gist: instantly share code, notes, and snippets.

@bramus this is cool! @ricvolpe and I were talking about this earlier.

I made a start on an Apple Shortcut that should be able to handle this too when on iOS / iPad. It’s a little rough around the edges but as a v0.2 it does alright: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/90f411dd8408455787a106da34ffb016

@mattjbones @bramus the other solution mentioned in the thread works well!
