Mastodon Redirector

Redirect Mastodon URLs from other instances to your own instance.

Mastodon Redirector- Simplify Your Mastodon Experience

Mastodon Redirector is a Chrome extension designed to simplify user experience on Mastodon. It allows users to follow, favorite, and boost posts from different instances by redirecting the URLs to your own instance. Instead of copying usernames and searching for them on your instance, users can now press a button to view the same account or status update on their own Mastodon instance. This not only simplifies the cross-instance interaction process on Mastodon but also significantly enhances overall user experience.

User reviews

Doesn't work at all. Clicking the button accomplishes nothing.

Andreas Chatzopoulos, 2023-03-15

Sometimes goes to the wrong account, but if I go back a page and try again, it gets it right. As Sushubh said, it would be wonderful if it worked on individual posts, too.

Too cumbersome. Demands user to find the extension in the menu and click on it to redirect. It's easier to copy/paste at your own server...
