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:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/fediact/

More info about it at:

Simplifies interactions on other Mastodon instances than your own. Visit https://github.com/lartsch/FediAct for more.

p.s. Using this extension is really easy:

1. Log in through your server's website (your server's website is the last part of your handle, for example mine is mstdn.social)

2. Install FediAct on your web browser (Firefox or Chrome)

3. Go to FediAct's settings page and enter your server (so for example mine is mstdn.social)

...that's it! While you are logged in on your own server's website, you can also interact with any Mastodon site without having to log in again or copy/paste.

Hello. I installed the Firefox extension (Firefox is up to date) and it worked great for a day. Now, it's back to prompting me to sign into instances again, including people that I have followed. I clicked on install the extension again (web interface) and it says "Remove," so the extension is still installed. I'm using Firefox for Mac. I don't recall doing step number 3. Would you please provide the link to FediAct's settings page? Thank you.

I found the Mastodon extension icon at the top right of the Firefox window. I entered my server name, Universeodon.com, but it still doesn't work. I also tried entering just Universeodon and quitting and reopening Firefox. Still brings up Sign in dialog box. I just tried it with Chrome, installed the extension (I was logged into my server with both browsers.) I went to Chrome's settings and didn't find anywhere to enter server & no icon in browser I could see. Thank you!
