Homecoming for Mastodon

Open Mastodon profiles and posts on your chosen instance from Safari.

Our take

Useful for following accounts encountered on other servers

The toolbar can switch both toward your home instance and back to the original page.

Keep in mind: This is a Safari extension, not a full Mastodon client; site access and instance configuration are required.

What you can do

  • Home-instance page opening
  • Original-instance return switch
  • Profile and post URL support

Good for

  • Mastodon users moving between instances

Consider alternatives for

  • A standalone social timeline client

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 15.0.
  • This is a Safari extension, not a full Mastodon client; site access and instance configuration are required.

Privacy & permissions

Safari website access covers pages the extension handles; restrict permissions to relevant sites and consider your instance's own privacy rules.
