    Another awesome extension from the people behind LibRedirect :D

    (definitely check that one out, it redirects big corpo sites to privacy-friendly frontends, eg. twitter to nitter, reddit to libreddit, yt to invidious etc. can’t live without it)

    @ManeraKai So if I get this right, you can use this to redirect links to other mastodon servers so that you end up on your own server where you can interact with it, right?

    (Can’t wait to try it out, thanks.) :)

    Doesn’t seem to be working every time, and when it does I am appearing logged out. Also, why does it require my login credentials.

      Some redirections aren’t supported (bc Mastodon isn’t fully compatible with Lemmy), and sometimes it doesn’t work bc of a server problem (your instance doesn’t federate with that link’s instance). However, FediRedirect is still in beta, open any issue here: https://github.com/ManeraKai/fediredirect.

      Also, why does it require my login credentials.

      For lemmy:
      (Username and Password) or (jwt) are required for resolving /post and /comment. If Username and Password didn’t work, go to your instance’s cookies and copy your jwt.

      Same for mastodon, but it only has the read:search permission (scopes aren’t implemented in Lemmy yet)

      • Say a friend sent you a lemmy.world link, you want to reply to it but you only have a programming.dev account, so you redirect the link to programming.dev that has your account.
      • Say a friend sent you a lemmy link, but you only have an account in kbin, so you redirect to kbin (kbin is not implemented yet).
      • You want to see a post in your own instance’s UI and Theme.
      • You want to use Pleroma’s UI not Mastodon’s UI and vise versa.

        Pretty new to this, but isnt the power of the fediverse that you can use whatever you like and connect to other instances?

        If i want to see mastodon content in pleroma, you can subscribe to the users from Pleroma?

        Like i use KBin to view this, because of the ability to view both Lemmy and Mastodon content. But Ive seen people link to pixelfed users and that works too

          All you said is true if you are browsing through your instance, but if you were browsing another instance’s website and saw a post or if someone sent you a link to a post in an instance you don’t use, then you should figure out a way to see that post through your instance. In Mastodon, you go to search and paste the post link. In Lemmy, you do something similar. Those can be done but are quite tedious. This problem is what FediRedirect aims to make solving it more convenient.

        kbin to lemmy is not implemented yet, right? trying to get this over at lemmy.world but nothing is happening. Also I do not understand the user/pass/jwt. If I just want to open say posts on my instance, is it required that I add it?

          For user/password/jwt, it’s needed to find the post id and the comment id in your instance’s database. No instance will offer you free post/comment id search unless you happen to be a user.

          Yes kbin is still not supported, I actually tried implementing it today but it doesn’t have a proper sesrch API like lemmy (finding a federated post id in my local instance’s databse). Kbin is still in beta so.

      You click a link to some fediverse content somewhere, and actually land on the instance where you have a login and can interact with it.

    Nice! I’d like to build a iOS Shortcut to do the same thing. How does it map the correct post on your own instance?

    It would be nice to have also an user script version of it so that it can be easily used with Firefox mobile (that does not allow all extensions yet, but it does support scripts via tempermonkey)

    Sweet. One does all. I believe you are planning on foing such for other Fediverse applications in the likes of Peertube ? Either way, it covers the more interesting cases which is lemmy & Mastodon for me.

    It doesn’t work. I entered my infos for both Lemmy and Mastodon, but when I select either Redirect buttons in the menu, nothing happens. (no error messages or anything) Any idea what I’m doing wrong?
