    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?

      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!
