Not working as advertised

Closed this issue · 6 comments

Hi! Thanks for this extension! It's exactly what I was looking for. However, it's not working. I do not see the small mastodons in front of the @Someone@server texts. My instance has a subdomain.domain.tld format (I have tried the last version)

Could you please provide some more details, does it work for some or non at all?

If you go here: https://twitter.com/indiealexh do you see the icon on my profile?

Does chrome show you are running version 1.0.1?

Yes, I see the link on your twitter profile, and I am running 1.0.1. I was under the impression that it should also work on other mastodon servers.

For example: I'm logged in on my server, but I am on a profile page on another mastodon server. When I click 'follow' I get a popup with a link. That's annoying. I thought that this extension would also add a link, for example here.

Ah!

Mastodon instances show usernames as two strings.

"@"
"username@example.com"

So this extension doesn't see this as a matching string.

I could enable this functionality but the main intent was to be able to open profiles from non mastodon sites to avoid the need to copy paste.

I will make a test version for this as I don't know if it will make mastodon viewing funky.

I have a solution. give me 5 minutes.

It does! :) Thanks for your work!
