The one annoying thing about Lemmy over Reddit, is that you’ll open a link from somewhere on the web and the Lemmy Instance’s site loads instead of your preferred client app. Sync already supports around a hundred instances but there’s way more out there than that. However, there is a solution! Fediverse Redirect acts as a middleman that keeps an up-to-date list of basically all Lemmy instances, and then redirects all of them to your client of choice, including Sync! Just install the Lemmy Redirect app via APK or their F-Droid repo, and then follow the directions in the app to setup the redirects and which client to point to. I used the Shizuku method personally, but there is a manual settings method and a LinkSheet middleman method as well. No root or Magisk is required for any of the methods.
They also have a Mastodon version that does the same thing, but for Mastodon instances and clients.
This sounds very useful, will try it.
Edit: no f-droid is disappointing. I greatly prefer that or at least Play versus installing APKs from unchecked sources.
It’s on Izzy, which you can add to F-Droid.
That’s not the same thing. Izzy doesn’t do any of the same FOSS or safety guarantees.
Works great with Boost. I’m also using the mastodon redirect tool as well.
Works great with Eternity
Sync already does does this for the top 50 instanstans.
Yes, but this does it for all of the rest.
No support for Voyager…
Submit a feature request to Voyager. There might be complications since Voyager is a webapp, but it shouldn’t be impossible.
