I have Jerboa installed also and links open in that from the web browser, I'd rather they opened in Liftoff since it's the one I seem to be using most.

I don’t know if it would help here, but we do hook into the deep-linking functionality if you use the “liftoff” protocol, so rewriting a link such as https://lemmy.world/post/1506733 to be liftoff://lemmy.world/post/1506733 would open it in Liftoff!

This prompted me to write a little Shortcuts script to add to my share sheet for iOS now. Is there something similar that could be done on Android?

I've used that with other apps in android, but liftoff don't seen to work

liftoff://lemmy.world/post/1506733

Are you saying that opening that URL in your browser doesn't open it in Liftoff?

Yes, just give me a blank screen on my browser, i tried with different instances and none of them worked, not even that link.

Okay, could you raise that as an issue in GitHub so our Android devs can see it? Sounds like you’ve done some good testing there.

No problem, i will do that once i'm home, i will also install a chromium based browser to test, i used fennec (firefox based) to test before
