I know this is more of a QoL type of feature, but down the road it would be nice to possibly have a safari extension for Lemmy links. It’s annoying to click on a link, and for it to go to the website instead of memmy. I don’t know if it’s possible, because I think Apollo hijacked the reddit open in app link. BUTTTT 🤞🏻 🤞🏻🤞🏻hopefully it’s possible
Sadly I don’t know a thing about swift/obj-c or even any coding at all. I did find this though, and I hope it’s something useful: Apple Doc
Unfortunately the thing about this is that it requires you have access to the server. You have to add a site association to your web server which wouldn’t work in this case. I could possibly do something with an extension though that redirects you from that site to memmy.app which would then open the app.
The problem still though is how to actually identify a link. Just checking for /u/ or /c/ is unreliable. /post/ is slightly more reliable but I still feel like it might not be. I’d need to see how many popular services are using something like that.
Extension finds links that contain /post/somet
I’ll just drop this since I’m not sure if it would help at all: Apollo ,and it looks like he was redirecting through openinapollo.com. So it does look like it would redirect through memmy.app for you.
I see what you’re talking about with the multiple servers, and that would definitely be a head scratcher. Since you’re definitely better at this, I guess I’ll leave that for you or someone else in the community to figure out :(
I have some ideas. There’s comment somewhere else in this thread I just made. We will experiment with this one of these days.
I’m already running a server for this, so hosting isn’t an issue at all 🖖
