how to add lemmy servers to open with jerboa as default?

Jerboa@lemmy.ml – 11 points – 1 years ago

The Brazilian community of reddit opened lemmy.eco.br to host a lemmy server, but every link of it opens the explorer and can't add it as a default url to open with jerboa.

Im on Android 13, with f-droid's 0.0.34 jerboa.

Thanks.

Is this even programmatically possible?

I think we have to actually contact the developer and request they add instances to the "open with links" on Android.

That being said, with the last update, there are indeed more. sh.itjust.works is there now, was not on older version of Jeroba.

I think the intent is to keep this list updated with the most popular X servers. I don't know what the criteria is, but they're working on including it as part of the release build process.

Unfortunately the list of servers that pop up are "hard-coded" so to speak, so it's a limited list of the top dozen or so most active servers.

Hard coded by Jerboa devs? In that case the Brazilian server could ask the devs to be added?

Maybe jerboa devs should make a formal process so server admins could ask to be added.

If you wanted to build your own version of the app, just add lemmy.eco.br to Utils.kt (top picture) and AndroidManifest.xml (bottom picture), following the same format, then build and run it using Android Studio, gradle tool or another build script.
