Lyn (ID: 00000085756d0fdf) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/15/2023 I like this extension and it works great!! But sometimes I just want to toot on it and I don't need to share any links or text. It's convenient because I don't need to go back to origin instance. And it's more private for toot when I was in workplace... Can you just add a button to customize this feature about toot but not to share? It will be great and I would like to pay for the new feature!

Joshua Jones (ID: 000000d309a37573) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 02/14/2023 Great extension over all, really makes using Mastodon across multiple instances much simpler and adds some features that should be a part of the platform. I've posted reviews previously, but as every time I leave feedback it gets addressed, I keep posting new reviews. New feedback: I'm having a strange issue that has just started (possibly with the 3.3.0 update?) where attempting to quote anything from my home instance instead pulls in text to the composer as though it were any random page. If you'd like a screenshot or something to demonstrate it, you can message me @[email protected]

Tony Hoyle (ID: 000000e6267c8786) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 02/09/2023 Can only review the bits I can see.. it appears to be a dialog that pops up containing the links on the mastodon page. Not sure what that adds, but I can see it being useful for some. Alas I couldn't get any further because all that happens when you enter your handle is the dialog goes grey and.. nothing.. until you eventually close it. Probably doesn't work with all instances I guess. It really needs more feedback as to what it's doing & what mastodon versions it's compatible with.

Byron Miller (ID: 00000098b4b044ec) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/20/2022 Works great! This really simplifies being able to browse other server timelines and easily follow/engage people as well as post articles and create new posts based on the profile you're viewing. No promo text in mine. Can confirm it works great.

Hendrik Mans (ID: 00000099b1252682) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/17/2022 This extension is great and does exactly what it says. Unlike that other review wrongly and libellously states, it does not add promo links to the toots you post with it.
