As the title says, is it possible to choose to open the Lemmy links (for example https://lemmy.ml/postXYZ) directly in the Lemmur app instead of in browser?

If the desired functionality is “Lemmur should directly/seamlessly open the Lemmy link anytime a Lemmy link is clicked, regardless of what app the link was clicked from” then I believe the domain needs to be added as a “Verified Link” within the app which requires some work within both the Lemmur app and each supported domain. I’m not sure how challenging it would be coordinating and maintaining all of the Verified Links, but it seems more work is needed beyond just a community list.
However, if the desired functionality is “Lemmur can be requested to open any Lemmy link that was already opened in the web browser” or “any Lemmy link clicked from within the Lemmur app should open directly in the Lemmur app without leaving the app” then I think a (well maintained) community list of public instances would be rather helpful in implementing this functionality.
I’m not sure if any of the above functionality is planned - it would definitely be nice to see though!
The work is only needed at Lemmur side in your first parragraph.
Such as is done by NewPipe.
Yeah I was thinking about PeerTube too, but @rhymepurple is right about the multiple instances problem… In fact PeerTube currently handles only YouTube.com and Framatube.org links…
I don’t think we’re talking about the same functionality. I can’t get NewPipe to open YouTube links by default from any app seamlessly. I can only share to or request to open YouTube links in NewPipe once I’ve already loaded the page in the browser. Maybe I’m doing something wrong though?
It seems like there is some back and forth about this topic on this Github issue.
The only issue is from the person who commented in https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/issues/2160#issuecomment-940849991
It works for me.
I messed with it some more and it seems to be working now for me too.
It would be really nice to see this in Lemmur.
