Oh true, Fediverse links are still not handled ideally. I know there's technical limitations to fedi app developers keeping an up-to-date list of domains that their app can open links from, but it would definitely be nice if there were some easier way to do things.

One side note, I've noticed that Megalodon (a Mastodon client) has a pretty good workaround for this issue -- if you use the share sheet to share a link with Megalodon, it gives you the option to post the link or to attempt to open the link in the client. That'd be a pretty killer feature to have in Sync, if there isn't some easier/better way to make it easier to choose certain Lemmy domains to open in Sync by default.
