Hey! I hope this kind of post is allowed. If not, I’ll remove it, obviously.

I’ve seen many complaints/suggestions that jerboa opens all links to Lemmy-instances in the standard browser. Which, granted, I don’t know how long it would take to fix it/implement it as a feature.

So, as I’ve stated in the title, I discovered some kind of work around! If you see someone dropping a link for an instance, try opening their profile and look into their comments and posted, whether they posted in said channel. Chances are high (at least for the ones I tried) that they posted there already. So you could open the instance directly in the app by tapping on its name above the post/comment.

I realize that this will not work on every occasion, but at least right now most people who plug a channel seem to be a moderator or at least somewhat active in it.

So, until we get an easier way, try looking through the posters profile! :)

Also, if you also know of different work-arounds feel free to share! :D

    Yeah, doing it from the app is the best way for sure. Sadly it’s still clunky, but it’ll surely get better soon

      Let’s hope the change comes soon. I really like lemmy and the Jerboa App, so naturally I’d like to see it improved. :)
