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.

    This is my biggest frustration as I try to find new communities, via the NewCommunities community. Each link opens the browser, which for some reason continuously has me signed out, so I cannot join easily. 😵‍💫🫠

      And this is an even bigger problem on communities on other instances, since you are not only signed out, you don’t even have an account there. So you are forced to go back to your instance and search for it, hoping that it is seen through federation. imho what should happen in that case is that Jerboa should “adapt” the URL so that you see the community as from your own account’s instance. So if I click on a link to blah.ml/c/blahcommunity, that should actually open lemmy.ml/c/[email protected]. Hm, but actually it shouldn’t do that because it should just open the community directly in Jerboa. But that would be second best.
