There was already an issue on GitHub about this

I don’t know if this is a feature or not, but if it is, it’s not working for me. When opening a link that refers to a post or community it opens an in-buildt browser inside of the app, instead of ridercting me inside of the app itself. It’s a real pain when openig lemmy links and having to switch to a browser every time.

If this isn’t a feature, is it planned?

    Same, especially when it’s a link to a community that I want to join, that’s on a different instance than mine. Because then I can’t just hit “join” afterwards lol

    If you use this syntax:

    • !community@instance
    • /c/community@instance

    Then the upcoming release will handle it (forget if it’s 0.0.34 or the one after it).

    But for regular links like https://instance/c/community, that’s not implemented yet, and I’m not sure if it’s planned.

      I have jerboa from the play store and when I see for example [email protected] it doesn’t highlight the exclamation mark and instead when I click on it, it asks to open with an email app.

      It’s very hard to use [email protected] because there are only 2 things that happen:

      1. Opens a new tab in the browser where I am not signed in and can’t sub. This happens if someone linked the entire address so for my case: https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]

      2. Crashes. This happens if it is linked like this: /c/[email protected]
