I know you can open a community directly thru a post, but not its instance. Using Connect allows both. Is this available... or perhaps in the works. It would make checking out other instances much easier. Thanks.

By default there's no way to hotlink, if you will, to a post on any platform. Now some apps might be doing something special to get around this, but out of the box this isn't supported at the moment.

Now there is an issue on lemmy itself which I'm exploring that should "fix" this: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2987

But I'm not sure how that might translate in a mobile app.
