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 recently switched away from Jerboa to this and dont mind the option being disabled/not used. There are so many instances being used right now that it would be impossible to keep up I feel.

    Liftoff actually does an incredible job over Jerboa with the links to other communities working way better and intuitive search methods that I feel like I will not be coming from search engine results for some time until the more prominent instances are more well known and indexed.

      I know little about how apks work, but it would be pretty nice if the list could be updated in-app without updating the app itself. Then as you implied we’d just need a list of known instances.

        I asked about this before and it seems the list of urls is fixed and can’t be changed in-app. Jerboa just has a huge list of active instances pulled from wherever. Liftoff should just do that.

          We don’t really want to do that because it’s impossible for us to keep it up to date. Instead we’re going a browser redirection route using app deep links with a tool called:

            Very cool. Glad you got it sorted!
