Mastodon boost/fav/reply idea:

Add following bookmarklet, named eg. "boost/fav/reply" to your browser bookmark toolbar:

javascript:(function() {location='mastodon.social/search?q=' + location.toString();})()

Just change mastodon.social for your actual home instance, where you are logged in all the time. Eg. for me it is:

javascript:(function() {location='f.cz/search?q=' + location.toString();})()

If you are viewing original URL of ActivityPub status outside of your instance, which means, that you are not logged in and cannot boost, fav or reply, clicking on this bookmarklet will just open the same status "locally", where you are logged in.

Tested in at least with and statuses and it seems to work as intended. I used to copy+paste URL to my home instance search box, but this is single click solution.

I wonder if there is way for web site to offer you installing bookmarklet automagically (it would be probably insecure?)

Feedback welcome.

If you have a fediverse account, you can quote this note from your own instance. Search https://f.cz/users/xChaos/statuses/116234649209551608 on your instance and quote it. (Note that quoting is not supported in Mastodon.)
