This could probably be solved by Fediverse/ActivityPub URL schema. Then your instance could register itself as a web handler.

BTW, glad to see you here. It was a good surprise for me to find you on Mastodon.

@skobkin Yes!

And if you have multiple accounts (on different servers with different capabilities), ask the user!

Kinda like Android/iOS do when you want to send a piece of data or a file to some app. Or desktop OS's "Open With..." dialog.

So we're in desperate need of yet another standardization.

@skobkin Stuff like MIME types but for social services/Web in general?

Just a schema standard for now.

It can be even universal schema like 'magnet' which isn't bound to BitTorrent only, so it could be used by ActivityPub and BlueSky at the same time for example.

Megalodon is doing the same. But it's an app.

The problem in the OP is about "I've clicked on a link on %some_site_or_messenger% and found myself on some (not mine) Mastodon instance, but can't like/boost any content.

> but there are some solutions to the problem

It's all workarounds for now.

@th3rdsergeevich Irrelevant, because at this point there's *NO* standard for this.
