Regarding

Note that you now only have to specify parameters you want instead of all of them.

That doesn’t seem to apply to the search page. For example, putting https://lemmy.ml/search?q=test&sort=New will lead to The server returned this error: couldnt_find_object. This may be useful for admins and developers to diagnose and fix the error

Copying the URL of a search (without stripping parameters) and opening it in a new tab so that it doesn’t contains any referers also returns the same error.

Also great work and congrats on the release 🙂

If used adequately, they can convey the emotion of the poster in a way that words can’t.

Not if spammed like a 6 years old who just discovered them though.

The third-party API doesn’t let them see how people interact with the app, only what the user is accessing.

It’s just to further monetize the user’s interactions and sell the data, because the executive team are greedy little pigboi.

Which is what OP is inquiring about, redirecting external links through intent (clicking link in a web browser and having them open in Jerboa).

IIRC the Android OS requires the app to define which URL handlers it should be able to intercepts at compile time as a security measure so that an app can’t decide to intercepts URL it shouldn’t after being installed without your knowledge or consent.

The nature of the Fediverse makes it difficult to achieve that without hardcoding and maintaining a list of instances URLs in the app.

It’s definitely better in third-party reddit apps though.

They don’t have any link to the source code, don’t publish their own modifications (required by GPLv3), and stripped the about page entirely so they’re not even crediting the original developers.

• Aegis Authenticator, IMO the best TOTP app out there.
• mpv-android to play almost any kind of multimedia files.
• Organic Maps for an OpenStreetMaps-based navigation, and doesn’t require an Internet connection to operate.
• StreetComplete to fill missing OpenStreetMaps info you encounter, in an almost fun manner.
• Syncthing-Fork for a Syncthing client with some good mobile-specific tweaks.
• Termux to emulate and run a bunch of console-based softwares (like youtube-dl, etc).
• AirGuard to detect if you’re being tracked by an Apple AirTag without your knowledge.
