Mastodon Redirector is a handy Chrome extension designed to streamline your Mastodon experience. Mastodon users often face the inconvenience of not being able to directly follow or interact with profiles and posts from other instances without manually searching or copying usernames. This extension solves that hassle by allowing you to redirect any Mastodon URL from other instances directly to your own instance.

With a simple click, Mastodon Redirector takes you to the same user account or post as if you were viewing it from your home Mastodon instance. This eliminates the need to manually search or copy usernames across instances, making following, favoriting, and boosting posts seamless and efficient. Ideal for Mastodon users seeking better integration and smoother navigation across different instances.

Works as intended. Thank you for making using the fediverse less of a hassle!

Pretty much exactly what I was looking for and works great, although I think it would be even nicer for a redirect button to be inserted into foreign instances' interfaces, instead of having to click the extension's toolbar icon.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Mastodon Redirector requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
