I've seen a few folks join Mastodon and complain that it's too difficult to follow people on other servers, with the cutting and pasting and whatnot. But @bramus has now created a neat Chrome extension (or bookmarklet, if you prefer to go that route) that let's you avoid all that hassle.

I just tested it out... by following @bramus with it!

@mmasnick @bramus nice work, but I suspect the Venn Diagram of “People who find it hard to follow people” and “People who can be bothered to install an extension” looks a bit like ⭕️ 😭
