In my image is the app settings for Jerboa, and I can see that it will open links from those instances automatically (and it seems to work fine) - however, I’m on Lemmy.world, and it’s not one of them, so links there (or to other instances) open in a browser.

The “Add link” option is greyed out there. Is there anything I can do within Jerboa to enable more instances to play nice? Or is it something that the instances themselves would need to implement in some way?

Thanks!

    You have to look for it as !“community”@“instance” it works pretty well on desktop, not sure if it’s as good in Jerboa. No need to create accounts in other instances. If people from your instance have already interacted with such communities you’ll be able to look it up using just some characters in the name. Hope this helps. Try using your instance website if Jerboa doesn’t work.
