The website fedv.link offers a solution for easier sharing of profiles and posts across different servers within the Fediverse. By simply adding "https://fedv.link/" before an ActivityPub link, users can seamlessly open ActivityPub posts and profiles on their preferred server. This feature aims to simplify interactions between users on various autonomous servers. The service does not require signing up and operates within the user's browser, allowing them to set their preferred server for all fedv.link links to open on that site. It is noted that the functionality has been tested primarily with Mastodon instances, and may not always work with Threads.net. The site's logic is based on client-side JavaScript, with the user's server preference stored in localStorage.
