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?
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.
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!

Those links open my email app
Shouldn’t a community link start with a ! normally? Like !comics@lemmy.ml?
Edit: That link crashes jerboa
Edit 2: Probably needs to be /c/comics@lemmy.ml
Edit 3: Lol still crashes jerboa I give up.
Really should have read your edits before clicking those links.
Oops, I’m sorry. I’ll remove them.

I may be wrong but I think this actually comes down to the linker linking incorrectly.
