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
