Has anyone tried it?

Ive been looking for something that can make following on mastodon easier and found this.

I just installed it and I really like the ability to go to any Mastodon site and click “Follow” and not having it re-direct to my personal site.

It doesn’t seem to work with GoToSocial at least at the moment, which is unfortunate. Ill have to see if I can “trick” the API by making it think its a mastodon server.

EX: https://social.jaredzimmerman.com/@jaredzimmerman

@jaredzimmerman@jaredzimmerman.com

Follow button works very well.

    The option was also called “not open source / have trust issues” but i mean, no hate against the dev but i see no reason to trust it off the bat. Yeah, the response was kind of immature.

    I get open source can be stressful. for example, the summit dev not making it open since they don’t want to deal with PRs/issues but at the very least make it source-available. From my POV this is a cool extension that popped out of nowhere, it’s risky to trust that.

    I respect the up-frontness, though.

      PRs and issues are not a mandatory part of opensource.

      You can literally bundle your code and serve it on some random page on a blog and it would be considered opensource.

        Oh TIL, thank you. Makes it (the decision) make even less sense, now.

          Lately the definition has become a bit blurred though. Like how some people only consider something “open source” if it also has a copyleft license.
