Until the devs add it directly to Mastodon, I created tooot.to to make it easier to link from websites outside of Mastodon into your Mastodon instance. You can put tooot.to/ before any profile URL in the wild and it will let you click through to your own server more easily. e.g. tooot.to/https://mastodon.social/web/@TodePond or tooot.to/https://hachyderm.io/web/@computerfact@botsin.space.

As well, you can share a tooot.to URL of any profile handle so it's easier for others coming from other sites. e.g. I'm at tooot.to/@colel@hachyderm.io

Features

• Prefix tooot.to/ redirections:
  • From handles: @colel@hachderm.io
  • From mispelled handles: colel@hachderm.io or hachderm.io@colel
  • From your logged in /web/ URLs: https://hachderm.io/web/@colel
• QR Code generation for easy IRL sharing
• Local HTTP only cookie for preferred instance
• No JavaScript necessary to use
