I made a deep linking proxy for Mastodon and Lemmy on Android (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.

Fediverse 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 or when using LinkSheet.

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. Keep in mind that a lot of clients don't have a way to send them links, so I may not be able to add support without changes to the client.

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

As with the original post, let me know if this isn't a good place to post this and I'll remove it.

this is great, but for nonroot linksheet, only mastodon redirect shows up on the app list... for some reason Lemmy Redirect isn't there 😭

I'll release an update soon with support for LinkSheet Nightly, which should properly list both apps.
