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.

Gist

UPDATE: Now look what we have here … a Chrome Extension that does the job!

Review is still pending, so you can’t find it on the Chrome Web Store just yet. Maybe later today, or maybe tomorrow … no one really knows.

The source code is publicly available, so you can clone it and load it unpacked if you want: https://github.com/bramus/mastodon-view-profile
