I made a deep linking proxy for Mastodon and Lemmy (github.com)

Hey everyone!

Because of how Mastodon and Lemmy are spread across multiple domains, I made an app for Android to help make following shared fediverse links hopefully a bit easier.

Mastodon/Lemmy Redirect has support for most Mastodon and Lemmy instances, and lets you choose which client you want the links to open in, even if that client doesn't support deep linking. It needs some initial setup because Android is very much not built for one app to have so many deep link domains specified, but it should be easy on Android 11 and later.

Both variants are free and open source and there's support for a bunch of clients already. I'd love to hear your feedback on behavior/UI/new clients/whatever.

Right now, downloads are available through the GitHub releases tab. I may put the apps on the Play Store, but I don't think they'll be happy about all the deep link domains.

Let me know if this isn't a good place to post this and I'll remove it.

I should probably post this as an issue on github but pressing the "Enable using Shizuku" doesn't seem to do anything whatsoever - am I supposed to get some kind of UI feedback? Shizuku is running, but even after pressing the button it still shows that there are 0 links that are opened in Lemmy redirect

I also experienced this issue. Without shizuku, I would need to enable hundreds, if not thousands of links, which is too much.

Edit: A clean reinstall fixed the issue.

Can you post it on GitHub with more details about your phone, OS version, etc.?
