Android 12 fucking sucks. There’s this new “feature” where you can no longer go into app defaults and manually define what urls can be opened by which apps. There are “verified links” now which means nothing other than your browser gets to open shit.

When someone posts a link to a lemmy url, that means I can never open it in jeroba. It always opens in my web browser. This significantly reduces the overall usability of the app.

Is there any way around this? I’m one of the lucky few to have an unlocked bootloader phone so maybe I can get an older rom but I wish there was another way.

    One workaround for this would be to make Jerboa add a new share action which would open the link in the app, this way you could long press any links you see and send them to Jerboa.
