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.

    I dont really know how HTTP Requests work but wouldnt it be possible fo Jerboa to open all Links with an in app Browser and checking for a lemmy flag in this request? I imagine it can be janky if the in app browser first opens a new window and falls right back to the app but if this is possible, there would be no need to have a never complete list since everey instance will have this flag.

    Sorry if i wrote nonsense, just an idea

      Substitute ‘in-app browser’ for ‘service’ in your sentence and it says essentially the same thing as what my sentence did.

      So yeah, not nonsense - totally sensible.

        Oh, i understood your way of doing it as a service that checks a list (remote or local) if this is an instance, where the list needs to be updated regulary, thats why i wanted a flag that tells the service “Hey, i am a Lemmy instance!” when it checks every link before opening.

        But yes, your implementation would be a future proof idea that would work like a charm!
