No this isn’t about redirecting as in migrating an account to another, but as in literally redirecting a link to another in the browser.
e.g. I click on the following post link from an instance I am not a member of : Daniel Hernandez: "#introduction: I am a Chilean computer scientist …" - Mastodon ; and I am redirected to this link pointing to the same post viewed from an instance I am a member of : Daniel Hernandez: "#introduction: I am a Chilean computer scientist …" - Mastodon
Demo :
For now I have an script that can do the following redirections :
- Mastodon to Mastodon ;
- Lemmy to Lemmy ;
- Pixelfed to Pixelfed.
But it was brought to my attention that I should also add the following :
- Mastodon to Pixelfed ;
- Pixelfed to Mastodon ;
- Lemmy to Kbin ;
- Kbin to Lemmy.
I’m also taking into consideration that everything that is compatible with Mastodon is compatible with Elk as well.
So, if I want to release something as versatile as possible, I’ll need a complete list of compatibilities.
Thanks
