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 Very interesting! I would try it, but sadly, I use #Firefox - not migrating to Chrome just for that.

@deavid @mmasnick Firefox version in the works ;)

In the meantime you can use the bookmarklet: https://gist.github.com/bramus/d8bce55dab1881cde18aa2169c66ac33

@bramus @deavid @mmasnick this works even better for me, as I can bind it to any key combo with Tridactyl (the best Firefox extension for Vim users) :) Thank you for this! :)
