Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.
Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.

Doesn't the app already have my cached account instances? Could it initiate through each of those instances to find the proper URL?
Sorry if I don't understand the limitation. It looks like from other replies that Fedilab appears to do this in some aspect.
I don't really use Mastodon, but I jumped on a couple instances to check the process of finding the post on a different instance. The posts in mastodon again have a different URLs to the same post on different instances just like Lemmy does so I just I wanted to figure out how they did it. It was simple and intuitive.
e.g. I may be browsing a post on mastodon.social while logged in to mstdn.social account and want to switch to an account on mastodon.world before replying.
in (https://mstdn.social/@wonderofscience@mastodon.social/110678720030292635)
click the elipsis ...
Copy link to post
This copies the link to the original post in its original instance (https://mastodon.social/@wonderofscience/110678719111063776)
Now I can go to mastodon.world and search the link we just copied. This gives one result which contains the post: (https://mastodon.world/@wonderofscience@mastodon.social/110678720000699504)
*Note: it seems you have to be logged in to the Mastodon instance for the search to work. *
Now you should be able to reply from that instance. I suppose these are the steps that the Fedilab takes for switching accounts.
I was scratching my head why searching this post from lemm.ee (https://lemmy.ml/post/1769528) wasn't working for me. Then it hit me, the post original instance is based on the poster, not the community. There is even a Fediverse star that gives you the link to the original post which is actually (https://reddthat.com/post/326735).
You can actually search (https://reddthat.com/post/326735) in the instance that you want to post to and it will be found using the search bar. It's just not as fast as Mastodon. I have convinced myself that this isn't as big as a limitation as I thought, it just isn't as trivial as a simple URL change.
@rooster_butt @caseinpoint btw, your post showed in my mention notifications on mastodon.social
That's amazing. I guess I still have a lot to learn about the Fediverse. I didn't expect the post url link would ping you but that may be because your username is part of the post url. I picked the first mastodon post that I enjoyed as an example.
