Did I miss something? What's wrong with revanced? It's what I use and I like it...

Is there a way to have video links in lemmy open in revanced instead of YT on my phone?

On android; Settings > apps and notifications > default apps > on the bottom is "opening links"

From there check the settings for YouTube and YouTube revanced and change as needed...

I don't know if that helps but that's what I would try.

Follow the other comment or, open the 'App Info' of default YT app (by holding dorn on the app icon). Goto 'open by default'. In 'Open supported links' choose 'Dont allow app to open links'. For Revanced follow above and set it to 'Allow app topen supported links'. The supported links should already be availablefior revanced.

Or you can set 'Ask everytime' for both and chose when opening an URL.

Found this the easiest way to change it and it worked. This is going to make a decent difference to my daily quality of life.

Disable the original youtube app.

Untrackme is one way to set that up. There is another, but I forget it's name.

Wasn't it discontinued?

That's Vanced. ReVanced is a new thing where you take the official YouTube APK(or some other apps)and patch it yourself. They have an app that does the hard work for you. You just have to find an APK for the right version of YouTube via APK Mirror or similar.
