I wish jebora could detect lemmy and other instances links and give me a redirect to my Accounts instance url.
Example:
I have an account on lemmy.ml and there is a comment with a link to a community on lemmy.world. Currently it opens a Browser window with lemmy.world/c/community.
I want that instead it links me to lemmy.ml/c/[email protected]
And preferably not even leaving jebora
Of course this isn’t as easy. Probably you would have to check any link for a possible link to the local instance. Or is there a list of instances so you could check the Domain only?
Yes, this is the most annoying thing about Jerboa right now. I think something like checking the domain against the list of federated instances would work ok.
I might take a look at this when I have time. I was thinking it could be fun to help with Jerboa dev
Yeah, that would be nice. Many posts on the New Communities community include 3 different types of link, and i notice the third type tends to consistently crash my Jerboa…
This is partly coming with the next release (I think, it could be 0.0.35 instead). So things like this will work:
I forget if /c/[email protected] and /u/[email protected] will work, but that would be a pretty easy thing to add in (they’ll at least link to https://lemmy.world/c/community and https://lemmy.world/u/user).
But the others you mentioned aren’t planned because it would require some guesswork (i.e. how can I know that https://domain/c/community is a lemmy instance? Guess? Or have a list of popular ones? Or do a request before redirecting to a browser?). It’s a bit more complicated, but it can certainly be done.
Agree! Hope they manage to implement this as soon as possible.
There are several user scripts which enable that behaviour in the browser (see https://sh.itjust.works/c/plugins). So it should be doable I guess.
I feel your pain but the most obvious problem, is that any link that hasn’t federated will lead to a 404.
You’ll be happy with the new version then because it supports in app community links.
Open your Android App Settings for Jerboa (not in the app). Go to Open By Default, there are several instances listed you can select and you may be able to add your own.
