Is there a way to do this? Currently, clicking a link (from a comment, as an example) to a community using !community@instance or instance/c/community opens a browser window to that community as opposed to loading in the app. Thanks in advance, and sorry if it’s been asked and answered somewhere before.
Oh, so this is more of an Android issue than a Jerboa issue? I didn’t realize. That explains in then. Thanks.
From my understanding, it is partly a Jerboa issue.
For the !community@instances links, I believe the links are being parsed automatically, and are getting set as email addresses. Jerboa should be able to recognize those as links to Lemmy as handle them correctly.
For the instance/c/community links, Jerboa isn’t really able to detect whether it is a Lemmy instance or just any other website, so they have predefined a few instances to be handled by the app. This is what people are talking about with Android being dumb. You should be able to set custom links (i.e. any Lemmy instance, not just the ones set by Jerboa) to be opened by default by Jerboa, but Android doesn’t allow that.
When Jerboa parses a instance/c/community link, maybe it could pull from the list of instances and if the url matches it can open in app?
Edit: I meant within comments and posts. I didn’t realize you were talking about outside the app.
