       I won't pretend to be an expert on this matter.The crux of the problem is that these open in app associations are associated by domain... and that the fediverse is split across thousands of domains essentially makes it a non-starter.For example, take a look at NewPipe. This is the domain association popup.Yikes!Unfortunately I am also not an Android developer so I don't have any clue what the solution would be!

       That said...! @benpate@mastodon.social has been working on something called Activity Intents (https://w3id.org/fep/3b86) that offloads this from the browser layer and onto the web apps themselves.It's something that could function as a stopgap until such time that a better solution is found for app-based clients.

       Another solution involves the standard OAuth2 login flow to authenticate a user, and then using the ActivityPub API (aka C2S) to perform actions on behalf of the remote user.I talked about this one a bit in my talk at FediCon.
