handling of links (feddit.de)

The link that gets generated when sharing a post or comment is not recognized by the app.

So if I send a link to a mate and then click it myself (or he does, doesnt matter), then the browser-app opens instead of the jerboa app.

Is there a possibility of fixing this? Or is it not possible because of the different instances which generate different urls?

Disclaimer: I've only tried this with my home instance and it's worked fine, I think I ran into issues with links from other instance, but try it out and see if it works now!

If you hold down on the app and click on "app info", then go to "open by default", you can select which websites should open in the jerboa app:

The "Open By Default" section in App Info for Jerboa

It's worked perfectly for me with links from my home instance.

(This "Open by Default" feature is very useful to know about for unofficial frontends like squawker, because if it isn't an official app this setting is how you choose it to be the default app.)

Oh, great! Now if its possible: There should be an update to the app that adds all the instances from lemmy.observer to this setting.

Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.

Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.
