Pixelfed instances do not handle OOB OAuth correctly meaning you can't currently login to them using `toot` (e.g. pixelfed/pixelfed#2522 ) This is a fudge to workaround that by allowing you to specify an alternate `redirect_uri` for broken servers which can take the HTTP redirect issued by Pixelfed and let you grab the code. If you don't have a handy HTTP server, you can use `http://localhost` and your browser (at least Safari and Chrome) will have the code in the address bar for copying and pasting into `toot`.

redirect_uriis handled inload_app- it feels like supplying-rshould set that instead of OOB on an app without an explicit setting but I don't think it's a situation that's going to crop up that often anyway.(Apologies if this is a Pythonic mess, it's not one of my main languages)
