Mastodon – Simplified Federation!
Simplifies following or interacting with other users on remote Mastodon instances in the Fediverse. It skips the “Enter your Mastodon handle” popup and takes you to your own “home” instance, without entering your Mastodon handle on remote instances.

| 2024-06-15 | coldReactive | | Works well enough. May have problems when certain instances (like mastodon.social) updates, as it's bleeding edge unlike other instances. It also has some quirks like with misskey-likes where you have to keep it set to open a new tab. Unless it's eventually fixed, you need to restart the extension every time you toggle "Redirect in main window." |
