OT: In Jerboa (lemmy app), why does clicking those community links open in a browser?
My understanding is that if I want to engage with a community on another instance, I need to "go to" that community from my own instance.. right?
But when Jerboa opens the community in a browser, I can't subscribe or anything since at that point I'm "on" the other instance, which of course has no idea who I am.
For Jerboa, if it's not on one of the instances it is set to open, it'll default to your browser.
They're working on expanding it past their default list, but to enable those long press on Jerboa > App Info > Open by default > toggle the enable button and turn on all the links.
