@bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy what! NodeBB has been sending out preview for quite awhile now, but there are exactly zero receivers. Mastodon doesn't support it.
I think with this change BridgyFed would be the first one.

NodeBB now sneaks in a mention to the category/community, and this gets pre-filled in the Mastodon composer.
I tested it against piefed's crust instance, and the response from Mastodon to my post on NodeBB successfully made its way to crust for distribution :tada:

@julian Love to hear it 🙏🏼🙏🏼

@bsky.brid.gy oooh, thank you so much! Especially allowing the repky function to accounts that are not bridged! This is amazing!

@bsky.brid.gy keep up the great work!

@julian I really tried. Maybe should have reached for AI. I'll look into that web+ap:// scheme, thank you!

@travisfw@fosstodon.org I don't blame you for not reading through the whole thread.
Suffice to say I think there is merit in using web+ap:// scheme at the browser (and possibly app) level.
PWAs can register themselves as a handler of those types (web+), and on the web side there are tricks to allow for the opening of them in the PWA or falling back to browser https.
It's worth experimentation, I think.

@julian it's complicated, isn't it. I was focusing on the narrower case of one app calling a default (or system dialog to choose) app to handle the post, rather than even necessarily involving the browser. But could one solution (somewhere in that veritably long-ass thread) serve the whole matrix of calling web->web, web->app, app->app, and app->web?
