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.

Request: Update link handling (lemmy.ml)

When I open links to other communities in the Lemmyverse, they don't open in Jerboa. They open in chrome. As a result, I'm not logged in and can't subscribe or interact. I've found lots of communities this way but it's a hassle to subscribe to them.

I was just thinking about this. The issue may be more complicated than it looks.

Currently Jerboa handles the links of only a handful of instances. As Lemmy as a whole grows and more and more instances pop up, it's just unrealistic to have the app handle 50 million server hosts.

Can opening links be something handled internally, at least initially, like maybe checking against the home instance's list of federated servers?

Lemmy links have the form https://host/c/name. Sniffing the /c/name would be enough for Jerboa to guess.

It gets even trickier when you remember that other federated instances might be mastodon or peertube or Misskey or kbin, etc.
