Missed the opportunity to name it Fedirect
It’s analogous to the name LibRedirect so.
Fedirect
This is what I hope happens to Twitter & Meta.
Do you have a GitHub repo for this?
Why exactly would someone need such a redirect between mastodon and lemmy. So far combination of them is unusable.
What’s the reasoning behind needing username/password? I’m a bit nervous handing that out.
I might be ignorant but what is the use or benefit of this? I am fairly new to the Fediverse.
Typically, when you click on a link to a post on Lemmy or Mastodon (or any other Fediverse application), it goes to the instance that was linked. For example, I’m reading this on lemmy.world. If I were to link you to this post, it would load on Lemmy.world’s site. Since you’re reading the post on Lemmy.world instead of your account’s instance (lemm.ee in this case), you can’t interact with the post since you’re not logged into Lemmy.world. This add-on would redirect you from Lemmy.world to the same post on lemm.ee.
(TL;DR) Adding this add-on would redirect you from Lemmy.world (remote instance) to the same post on Lemm.ee (your account’s instance), which would allow you to interact with the post without having to find it on your account’s instance manually.
Ah, that makes sense. Thank you!
Any plans for Mastodon + Lemmy => Kbin?
Yes, also pleroma and misskey.
Any plans to make it compatible with Firefox for Mobile?
It’s definitely going on my desktop but I’d also love to use it on my phone
It can now work on Firefox Mobile, but Firefox doesn’t allow installing any extension for security reasons (idk if for compatibility reasons too), you can only install “recommended extensions”. There’s a way to install it on Firefox Nightly, but that’s too advanced.
maybe you can do something like oldlander? https://github.com/OctoNezd/oldlander#firefox
It does the same thing, recommending Firefox Beta or Nightly. For Tampermonkey, FediRedirect is a full browser extension not a script.
Looks very promising so far!!
