Support opening links in Pachli via "Set as default -> Supported web addresses" method in the Android App Info screen?

Apologies if this has been discussed before, but would it be possible to add settings to allow Pachli to open links of a specific domain - like NewPipe can do with Youtube and some PeerTube links?

I know this could be tricky to maintain a list of the ever-changing 10,000+ Mastodon sites, but maybe the top X domains, and allow custom additions by the user?

When I get sent links from other people, by default the links open in a browser, so if I want to favourite or boost them, I have to go though the process of going to my own domain in a browser, and then boosting the post etc.

The feature would be great, but a list of Mastodon servers would be crazy long and in need of maintenance, wouldn't it?

The thing is I seem to recall another Android client who did that... it might be worth looking into it.

As a workaround, what I do is: Long tap and copy the link, then paste it in the Pachli search box. It instantly finds the post (as it is a unique result in the search, no other operators needed) and I continue from there.

Yes, that's part of the problem. Android doesn't let you (generally) handle links for domains you can't prove you own.

#365 exists, but I have concerns about the UX and other issues (#365 (comment)).
