When sharing Nostr content, opt for sharing the link using Client-agnostic platforms like https://njump.me

It's very annoying to receive a link that forces the use of a Client that you don't or can't use.

njump is cool, but unnecessary centralization. Why not just use a custom URI like “nostr://mylink” and then your operating system can determine what is the default app to open those links in?

Sure, if people can paste that into a browser and things just work that would be better. But I don't think they can do this right now.

A custom app URI only works for native apps.

But it’s shockingly easy to implement because you don’t need to get it registered as an officially supported protocol in browsers.
