If you have a fediverse account, you can quote this note from your own instance. Search https://mastodon.social/ap/users/116028534492052302/statuses/116028982466167234 on your instance and quote it. (Note that quoting is not supported in Mastodon.)

Imagine being able to share your fediverse account on other platforms using this powerful new service that makes it super easy for them to follow you no matter what server they are on, and if they don't have an account yet, we can onboard them by leveraging the vast and community curated data from FediDB + CommunityDB.
Follow anyone. Any software. Any account. One link or self-hosted html button β¨
We need better UX and this is a huge step in the right direction.
Fedi Devs: Let's chat β¨

@rimu So I have a working proof of concept, using the Activity Intents FEP and a polyfill for software not yet supported.
Want to work on this together?
I will be getting the webintents.net website up shortly π
