If you use Mastodon through a desktop computer, you can install a special browser extension called FediAct which lets you directly interact with other servers' websites:
:firefox: FediAct for Firefox
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/fediact/
:google: FediAct for Chome
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/fediact/lmpcajpkjcclkjbliapfjfolocffednm
This can be very useful if you are following web links to other servers, for example in the listings on https://fedi.directory

There is more info on the github page's FAQ: https://github.com/lartsch/FediAct
"Why does it need permission for all websites?"
"The addon needs to determine whether or not the site you are currently browsing is a Mastodon server. For that to work, it requires access to all sites. Otherwise, each existing Mastodon server would have to be explicitly added."

@dga12 @feditips - Fair point. Looking forward to reading this answer before installing.

@feditips No indication of why it must have so many permissions on my computer.

I use FediAct for Firefox. Seems to work as advertised. I haven't had any cross-server troubles. ?
