posted 2 months agoHi coldReactive and thanks a lot for your rating. I'm sorry that it currently does not work for you. As explained on GitHub Mastodon.social uses pre-release versions and – as such – it is very hard to keep up with software changes there.
That all said, I am glad you have opened the issue and thanks for reporting the problem, because this is the only way it may get fixed.
With the help of the community, I hope to have that issue fixed soon, because of course it is a problematic situation if the main feature of the add-on does not work, I can absolutely see that. Just saying that this is taken seriously and as best as this spare-time project can be managed this issue may get fixed in the next version.
If you have further issues or questions, feel free to ask or suggest a feature by opening an issue on https://github.com/rugk/mastodon-simplified-federation/issues. Thanks.
Best regards,

posted 2 months agoHi 17641161,
thanks a lot for your rating. I'm sorry that the extension is not working as expected for you.
In case I understood correctly, you entered your Mastodon handle, visited a Mastodon instance, clicked a button and it did not redirect? In this case, could you please provide more details on what happened instead, e.g. was an error shown? What instance did you try it on and what is your home instance?
Also you did not accidentally press enter on the options page?
If you continue to have problems with that, it would be very nice if you could report this bug on https://github.com/rugk/mastodon-simplified-federation/issues and provide more information there, so we can deal with it. Thanks.
Best regards,
rugk - Rated 1 out of 5by t-low, 5 months agomy main problem was, that if you want to paste something and press something like the Ctrl key the window disappears and everything you typed is gone. This is why I deinstalled.

posted 2 months agoHi t-low,
thanks a lot for your rating. I'm sorry that it does not work for you.
From what i read you pressed enter when entering your username/handle in the settings. Could you please try again without pressing enter? Settings should save automatically, enter may accidentally trigger the reset button.
You or someone else may have opened an issue on GitHub about that exact problem (https://github.com/rugk/mastodon-simplified-federation/issues/110), so let me know, if it is about the issue you describe. There I also replied with more technical details and ideas to solve this.
That said, the steps above should fix your problem and you can continue to use the extension. I would be happy if you tried it out again and report back whether that works for you.
If this helped, it would be glad if you could adjust your voting.
Best regards,

rugk - Rated 3 out of 5by beyond9thousand, a year agoDoes not work on instances like mastodon.social for some reason
Developer response
posted a year agoHi beyond9thousand,
I am sorry that it does not work for mastodon.social and other instances.
The problem you mentioned is actually already known and it was found out that this was due to a compatibility issue in a new - yet unreleased - version of Mastodon (Mastodon v4). We are having a look into how that can be fixed and made compatible again in a new update of this extension.
The issue tracked in https://github.com/rugk/mastodon-simplified-federation/issues/77. Feel free to follow there follow there to get status updates.
If you have further issues or questions, feel free to ask or suggest a feature by opening an issue on https://github.com/rugk/mastodon-simplified-federation/issues. Thanks.
I hope this explanation helped and continue to have fun using the extension.
Best regards,

- Rated 5 out of 5by Kelson, a year agoAwesome! This has always been one of the annoying things about remote interactions.
Setup is simple: You enter your home username and site in the preferences.
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! Developer response
