Hey there people of the Fediverse!

IF YOU ARE USING A MOBILE APP (AND *NOT* WEB BROWSERS) to read this, could you click on the link below and then answer the survey?

➡️ mastodon.sdf.org/@obster/11105

Question: Does clicking on the link make the post appear within your app just like any normal post from a timeline, or does it open a browser window and show you the post as a web page?

  • It opens in the app and looks like any normal post (0)
  • It opens in a browser within app or outside app (0)
  • It opens in the app just like any normal post (1,919)
  • ...something else? (reply to say what) (0)
  • I am not using a mobile app (0)
  • It opens in a browser window (608)

@feditips it opens within the app, but with a browser-like interface rather than looking like a normal post on the timeline.

(Google Pixel 5, official Android Mastodon app, v2.0.4)

@feditips it opens in black screen Mastodon instance, different from the one I use( which is white screen background) and it tells me to sign in to interact.

@feditips Tusky took five or so seconds "performing lookup" then showed the message in the app :)

@feditips I chose “something else,” but I think I should have chosen browser window? I’m using the app on an iPad. It definitely does not open within the app.

@feditips I'm using Megalodon, so of course, it works as intended. 👍

@feditips I'm using Moshidon on android, it opens up pretty fast on the app but it also gives you the option to open in a browser.

A pop up saying, "Looking it up on Blorbo.Social", with the options to either cancel or open in browser.

I'm using @SubwayTooter, which asks how to open the link, inside the app or in a browser window.

@feditips Mona has settings for opening in-app, Safari, or in reader mode.

@feditips when you say mobile app does that include Firefox? Or is this Mastodon specific mobile apps?

@feditips Using the official Mastodon client from F-Droid and the link opens in a browser (which is quite annoying).

@feditips Tusky does "performing lookup" for half a second, then opens it normally. What's special about this post?

@feditips I'm reading this in a browser client (Elk), so it opens in a second tab. But if I clicked this on my phone (Moshidon), it would open in the app.
