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)

@bramus If you're browsing on iOS and spot a username you want to follow (just have to have the @[email protected] address visible anywhere on screen to work!) I've made a Shortcut that does the same thing.... 👍 https://mas.to/@danielstucke/109392319645483018

I've been using it to follow people from the Twitter app as they announce their departure 😀

Attached: 1 image I made a shortcut to help with the #TwitterMigation. On an iPhone it allows you to tap your phone whenever you see someone tweeting their new Mastodon profile to take you directly to the follow screen in Mastodon. No more fumbling trying to copy and paste the URL from one app to another. Feedback welcome! #birdsite #Twitter #iOS #Shortcuts #Mastodon https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/f0f543235aab4bd8baae77c58a555cf6
