As me and many others, you might have encountered the problem, that tapping on a comment in your inbox doesn’t get you to the comment and it’s context. However, you can actually directly jump from the comments inbox to the correct comment + context in the post.

Check the image. First long press on the upvotes/time on the top right, to have the lower bar expanded. Then press on the chain link button below to directly open the post!

It was hard to find and know unless you already know it. This definitely needs UX improvement. Hence, this post here.

    Oh, hell yeah. Now, how do I open a link to a post on a different instance than mine from within my instance (also without getting sent to my browser)?

      For me it just works. But maybe it’s because I made this Android setting?

        Ah okay. Looks like it will only work for certain instances. I don’t think I can add any others besides these ones.

        If Jerboa can follow comment links from the inbox natively, why does it let Android handle the links everywhere else? Maybe Jerboa could insert a little link button next to every hyperlink so that you can choose whether to open a link with Android or natively with Jerboa.
