    Oh shit!

    This post actually made me look for a solution and I found one!
    Solution to opening tiktoks without using tiktok app or site, not how to stop ur friends sending u garbage.

    It made me think… mpv player can play basically any link you throw at it (thanks to yt-dlp), and we also have mpv on Android, so why can’t we do it there as well. And sure enough, I found this https://github.com/mpv-android/mpv-android/pull/58, someone baked yt-dlp in mpv for Android, making it possible to open link in mpv (share >> play in mpv)

    It works for instagram and all other shit.
