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.

In Open by default settings for Jerboa in Android, there are 55 instances listed. It means that they will open in the app itself. Before, it used to open website in browser. Thanks for the great work! Hopefully other remaining instances are supported in future.

It'd be great if each instance had a .wellknown/assetlinks.json file with all the Lemmy apps included there. That way the apps could be auto verified and we wouldn't need to go into settings to enable each instance link

Why not just try and hit an API endpoint when clicking a link instead of adding them all manually?? That's what I've done in my client

I think they're talking about opening a link in your browser or something and Android routing you try Jerboa. I could be wrong though.

I am talking about the Android routing in Jerboa. Before, if I tap any Fediverse link in Jerboa, it would open in browser.

Ok. Then that can absolutely be fixed as the person I replied to said. Basically, assume anything that matches a given pattern is a lemmy link (e.g. if it includes /c/, /u/, or /post/nuumber, etc), and then fall back to letting Android handle it.

But the other issue is opening Jerboa from other apps when clicking a lemmy link.
