Hi, maybe I’m trying to do something that Hermit cannot do, but I was wondering how the “Share” function works. Is it to share links from other apps into a Hermit app?
To be more specific, I was wondering if I could “share” a YouTube URL and parse it so that it redirect some parameters like watch?v=
or the videoID after youtu.be/
into another website, for example https://piped.video/
Thanks!

Hi, sharing to Hermit allows for features like:
- opening links from another browser in Hermit (e.g. if you are reading a Lemmy link in Chrome, you can share a link from Chrome to Hermit, and it will open in the Lemmy Lite App.
- You can also pass entire URLs to other sites, e.g. set up a Facebook Share URL so the site can accept the URL.
If piped.video can accept a URL as part of a GET URL, you can use the
%u
parameter to use it.
