I started with Jerboa on Android but then saw someone post that the Lemmy web UI was a progressive web app that you could "install" to act as a standalone sort of app. Jerboa was missing the key feature of being able to view communities on other instances in the app by clicking on a link to them.
I've been using the web app as a stand alone app for a few days now. I like it more than Jerboa bc I can follow other communities. Although eventually I hope to switch to an Android app for ease of use.
I guess I'm missing something because I believe I can do this? For instance, I drill down and look at comics@lemmy.ml or news@beehaw.org all the time in jerboa. What is it you're trying to do?
Those links open my email app
Shouldn't a community link start with a ! normally?
Edit: That link crashes jerboa
Edit 2: Probably needs to be [removed because crashes jerboa]
Edit 3: Lol still crashes jerboa I give up.
Edit 4: Removed the links that made jerboa crash
Really should have read your edits before clicking those links.
Oops, I'm sorry. I'll remove them.
Same for my with Jerboa. At least the Version that will be released next week let‘s me sort comments by Old. The development seems to have increased a lot in the last weeks.
If I clicked on the community a post or comment came from I could navigate to it. But if someone posted a hyper link to another community the app would open up a web view.
I may be wrong but I think this actually comes down to the linker linking incorrectly.
This can be solved by going to your phones settings, then search for "Opening Links". Then tap on Jerboa, click on "Add links" and tick all boxes. Now it will automatically open the links in the app!
