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.

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?

Unless lemmy (or whole fediverse) adopts it's own URI, for example https+fediverse://lemmy.world/..., then I don't see this happening.

Oh, thats disappointing.

Couldn't one have a list of all instances and from that direct it to the app? Like links to youtube get opened by the YT app? Any lemmy.ml/... , lemmy.world/... , and so on get opened by the "lemmy-app" which is installed.

Or doesnt this work like this?

That would just be centralization again. Someone could attack that one site and bring the whole lemmyverse down.

But I wonder if that list could be federated?

not really - all it would do is be annoying to open links in apps. probably temporarily, as another would spring up

matrix is decentralised, but they have matrix.to
