Post Body

I use a Pixel 4a.

I can't open links in external apps. I get a message saying "no apps can perform this action." I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, and I could open a link when it was set to open links in-app.

Update: I have found I can get links to open in a non-browser app (imgur) if I click "reply" to the comment and then click the link in the box that shows the comment I'm replying to. I have not yet tried with a generic link.

Update 2: this tactic also works with links that open in the browser rather than their own app.
