FediTips has moved!Dec 13, 2022

Have you ever interacted with the website of another Mastodon server and found yourself having to re-enter your username and password, again and again?

There's a new browser extension called FediAct which lets you directly interact with other servers' websites without having to log in again or copy/paste addresses.

➡️ Chrome:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/fediact/lmpcajpkjcclkjbliapfjfolocffednm

➡️ Firefox:

@feditips @lartsch Would also be great if this add-on could somehow hide the sign-in and sign-up buttons. That will make it even more less confusing.
