Imagine being able to share your fediverse account on other platforms using this powerful new service that makes it super easy for them to follow you no matter what server they are on, and if they don't have an account yet, we can onboard them by leveraging the vast and community curated data from FediDB + CommunityDB.

Follow anyone. Any software. Any account. One link or self-hosted html button ✨

We need better UX and this is a huge step in the right direction.

@dansup i can already follow anyone on the fediverse, thanks — unless the admins here have blocked them, in which case (since this is a well-run server) it was with good reason.

sounds like another money-making scam to me.

@fishidwardrobe I think you misunderstand the purpose of this.

The idea is to make it easy to share your account in a way that supports people to follow you from other servers.

There is no money involved, or any type of monetary restrictions, its simply just an extension of public protocols wrapped up in an easy to use service.

that's called "the fediverse". either you're silly enough to try to sell fish water, or it's a con.

anyone° can already follow me from any° server. all they have to do is search for my name, or any hashtags i use.

°blocking notwithstanding. will this make it easier for people who i've blocked to read my posts?
