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.

Fedi Devs: Let's chat ✨

@dansup I have serious privacy & ai data scraping concerns with this idea. Also, I’m not on those platforms on purpose.

@TransitBiker how so? We simply redirect users to their own home server, we don't store or otherwise track anything besides server domains + the software they run.

When you use this, everything happens in your browser, and we will support native intents to open this in the app of your choosing, without having to lookup your server.

I'm not sure how privacy would be an issue, please do explain.

@dansup if twitter users can see my post, so can twitter. Nope.
