Hey, #ActivityPub folks.
I'm curious -- has there been thought given to making some kind of simple HeyFollowMe button on web pages that could work as smoothly as RSS buttons did for RSS using folks back in the day?
Ideally not requiring one to copy and paste a URL into a #Mastodon search box or type your home server address into a Follow dialog box on another site's page.
I'm assuming there's some reason such a thing isn't already out there.

@swetland Seconding what @megmac said here https://social.treehouse.systems/@megmac/112708552631999582
Maybe in the meantime there is a way to make the experience a bit smoother? I'd love to know what you think about something like this https://stefanbohacek.com/project/fediverse-sharing-button/

@swetland @megmac Another roundabout option is a browser extension that lets me switch between instances, so that I can open a remote post or profile and easily switch to my own instance and interact with it.
