Mastodon – Simplified Federation by @rugk makes remote follows less cumbersome by automatically entering your Mastodon account details and puts that functionality where it should be: in your browser.

You can get it for Firefox from:

addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firef…

Oh that is exactly what I've been looking for! Thank you for sharing!

Out of curiosity, is there a version of this extension that is compatible with Chromium?

in reply to Aral Balkan

I already had Firefox installed on my (Linux Mint) system. So I installed that extension, but where do I go now? When I go to Firefox settings, I do not see Mastodon.

Awesome! This has always been one of the annoying things about remote interactions.

I like the way the preferences just automatically check your username to see if you're logged into your home instance.

Note to anyone else reading this: Remember your username is case-sensitive! If you have mixed case in it, you have to type the capitals correctly!
