Presumably Android supports the ability for a user to add their own links to be opened by apps (otherwise why would that button be there), but I've never actually seen an app support it. It most likely is a programmatic change that must be implemented in the app's source code or declared in the app's manifest.

Used to love that sub but the top posts too often are people bitching about work or non-technical discussions. Rarely read anything there anymore.

@[email protected] does Lemmy support a distributed configuration with multiple database and app servers, or are you limited to a single instance of everything?

Usually, yes, but I'm sure they'll be tracking traffic more than usual during the protest to see actual impact, so any traffic is counterproductive to the protest.

I dislike the idea of multiple communities for the same topic spread across multiple instances. Sure, you can subscribe to multiple communities, but that's just extra overhead. I'm hopeful reddit backs down after the protest (as unlikely as it may be), but either way I will probably go back to using it regardless. Social media is about content, and unless there is a dramatic shift away from reddit being the content hub that it currently is, nothing else will be as useful.

Thanks for the info! Keep up the great work man.

I just don't see how this actually benefits the average user compared to a centralized system. To me it's a bit like trying to apply Blockchain technology to everything regardless of how appropriate it may be. I'm sure plenty here disagree with me and that's fine.

Yes, that probably right. But it also goes against one of the supposed benefits of the Fediverse. Which makes the whole distributed system thing a bit pointless.
