I'm trying to find an android mastodon app that can handle links from outside the app and open them in the app. Tusky is not going to implement this feature request and I haven't seen anything from the official app nor Fedilab.

It really feels like not being able to open mastodon links in an app is what's holding me back from using Mastodon more. I don't always find Mastodon content from within and is like to be able to interact with them more.

As has been said, this is not easily possible, but a workaround in Fedilab is to copy the link and paste it into the search bar inside the app. So, not super convenient, but at least you'll be logged in and can interact with the post. This might also work with the other apps, I'm not sure...
