Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.

Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.

feature request: when clicking on a link to a community, open it in Jerboa (self.jerboa)

Or maybe it is only me?

When I'm clicking a link to a community on the instance I'm logged into (Lemmy.world), the community opens in my web browser rather than in jerboa. Given, this is annoying especially when I want to subscribe to that community.

I should note that I'm using a url checker app so this might be the reason for such behavior.

So, while the experience certainly isn't terribly smooth, there are changes you can make, to somewhat alleviate this.

see here

tl;dr:
Open Androids App Info of Jerboa -> Open by Default -> Check all available links

it's very imperfect, as android apparently needs this list specified at compile-time. Not sure why it's currently disabled by default, devs may have missed something, idk.
So this list will never include every instance, especially regarding new ones, but it's a start.
lemmy.ml beehaw.org, feddit.de feddit.it lemmygrad.ml are there. lemmy.world unfortunately isn't (yet)

That's a great start. Thanks!

Maybe we should add a bug report on that?
