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!

    Presumably Android supports the ability for a user to add their own links to be opened by apps (otherwise why would that button be there), but I’ve never actually seen an app support it. It most likely is a programmatic change that must be implemented in the app’s source code or declared in the app’s manifest.
