Hi, not sure if this is the right place to post. I’m moving over to Jerboa from rif and I’m having a hard time changing my phone settings. I’m on Android 10. When I used rif, I could open reddit links - and only reddit links - within rif and stay in the app. With Jerboa, clicking on instances, communities, or user pages in comments automatically starts up Gmail. I get that fediverse is based on the same concept as email, but how do I get my phone to stop assuming every @ is an email address?

    I think it’s already there (just have to activate it on the app permissions), but jerboa doesn’t correctly open links yet so I wouldn’t do it yet

    We only now realize how important is the link handling and how convenient writing r/subreddit was on reddit. Often a birthofasub happened from users simply composing a subreddit link on the fly that doesn’t exist yet.

    afaik that’s because the links are handled by your phone and not the app.

    Each instance has it’s own domain name and Jerboa would need to support all of those to stay in the app itself. You can view these by going into App Info -> Open by default

      Yeah they’re the “verified” links, easily added to an AndroidManifest xml file - not really compatible with the way Lemmy instances work.

      Or you’d have to think about a central pointer like site, kinda what farside.link is for Invidious and nitter…

      Like something completely separate that you do login to but just rewrites the url to your home instance. But then every link on the platform would have to be pointing to that url. Could get complex really quickly because there’s no reliable way to determine what a Lemmy instance is, brutally say that anything that matches “/c/” should be rewritten could be a fun experiment.
