The easiest way to get a deeplink for a specific list is to copy it from within the app. Tapping the ••• button in the top right of a list will reveal an option to Copy Deeplink. This will copy the link for that specific list to your clipboard.
A link to open a list will look something like this:
sofa:///list/A3342F8B-B998-4C56-AD60-788B911B6802
