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?

      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.
