Protocol handler?
-
I'm going to register a protocol handler, so links to anywhere on the fedi will be opened in the user's home instance.

Has anyone already done this and if so what was the prefix you used? We might as well all use the same thing. I'm thinking
web+fedi

.rimu@piefed.social interesting idea... I know Evan has some thoughts about this as part of his ActivityPub HTML discovery project
https://swicg.github.io/activitypub-html-discovery/
I am not sure why they did not settle on protocol handlers but I've tagged him for comment

The concept sounds excellent, although there is fairly limited mobile support.
Since NodeBB is an installable PWA it would be definitely nice to have it supported there as well.

.It's a good idea, but
web+fedi
orweb+activitypub
is maybe too broad to be useful? I wouldn't want a Lemmy post to open in Mastodon, and pretty sure opening a Mastodon post in Lemmy is impossible unless the post was directed to a community.web+threadiverse
could solve that issue but that's kinda hacky. Too bad (AFAIK) they can't be stacked likeweb+fedi+threadiverse
with some kind of priority system.There was a discussion about this for Lemmy but it was never implemented https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/3031
Maybe the real solution is to improve Lemmy and Mastodon so that they are capable of doing these things decently.
I was actually thinking of making a browser extension that handles this instead. Each Fediverse software could write something to
window.fediverse
or something like that, with tags for threadiverse, group support, micro blogging, etc. The extension could have methods to infer these values for existing platforms. But the extension could give a dialog box to redirect, based on your preferred instances for certain tags. -

.web+ap
, which was proposed by Fedilink authors. To my knowledge, it is the most widely adopted proposalhttps://web.archive.org/web/20250402041648/https://fedilinks.org/

Are there implementors of web+ap? I'd be interested in adopting.
I assume the fallback behaviour is to just assume https?
