@ampersarnie@mastodon.social @bramus@front-end.social there's another solution out there from @elizabeth@tech.lgbt that I replicated here https://mastodon-redirect.deno.dev/ some good links there, it involves using local storage to set and redirect people to their instances a tool by @jlarky@fosstodon.org uses it https://imverified.up.railway.app/techtwitter

@ampersarnie@mastodon.social @bramus@front-end.social @elizabeth@tech.lgbt @jlarky@fosstodon.org currently there's two hacks to do this, 1️⃣ use the bookmarklet when you want to redirect, or 2️⃣ if you're building an app have people redirect to a shared local storage server, I suppose I could integrate the bookmarklet and this local storage solution so you don't have to set your instance in the bookmarklet code 🤔

@thomasreggi@indieweb.social @ampersarnie@mastodon.social @bramus@front-end.social @elizabeth@tech.lgbt @jlarky@fosstodon.org great work going on here by everyone! I was trying to get this to work with posts but I noticed that the post ID is different between instances so not easy to cross-references. Has anyone looked into this?
