Doesn't seem to be working every time, and when it does I am appearing logged out. Also, why does it require my login credentials.

So it can steal your credentials and hack your accounts! Duh!

Some redirections aren't supported (bc Mastodon isn't fully compatible with Lemmy), and sometimes it doesn't work bc of a server problem (your instance doesn't federate with that link's instance). However, FediRedirect is still in beta, open any issue here: https://github.com/ManeraKai/fediredirect.

Also, why does it require my login credentials.

For lemmy:
(Username and Password) or (jwt) are required for resolving /post and /comment. If Username and Password didn't work, go to your instance's cookies and copy your jwt.

Same for mastodon, but it only has the read:search permission (scopes aren't implemented in Lemmy yet)
