Mastodon Redirect Bookmarklets

If you can’t or won’t run the Mastodon Profile Redirect browser extension, you can use these bookmarklets instead which also do the job

Installation Instructions

For each of the bookmarklets:

• Create a new bookmark
• Set the Name
• Set the URL to the contents of the code block
  • Be sure to include the javascript: prefix from the code. This is required.
  • Be sure to change the value of LOCAL_DOMAIN (line 2) so that it reflects your Mastodon instance.

The Code

View Mastodon Profile

javascript: (function () {
	const LOCAL_DOMAIN = 'example.org'; /* 👈 Change this value to your Mastodon domain, e.g. 'mastodon.social' */
	const WEB_DOMAIN = LOCAL_DOMAIN; /* 👈 Only change this value if your Masto host is hosted an different domain than the LOCAL_DOMAIN */

	/* Show warning in case user has not configured the bookmarklet */
	if (LOCAL_DOMAIN === 'example.org') {
		alert('This bookmarklet is not configured properly. Please follow the installation instructions and change the value for LOCAL_DOMAIN before you use it.');
		return;
	}
