Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.

Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.

[Question] How to get Jerboa to open links to more instances? (lemmy.world)

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!

App info, defaults, supported links.

Actually, it looks like I can't scroll down in any screen within the settings options.

I just found it as well, it's in your phone (e.g., Google) settings. For my phone (Samsung) I go:

(Samsung) Settings -> Apps -> Jerboa for Lemmy -> Set as Default -> Supported Web Addresses

That leads to the page shown in the OP screenshot 😊

Thanks. Did that, but still not showing up and still can't scroll down in settings/look and feel. Reinstalled the app too, so I don't know 🤷

There's no app info in my settings.

that will work, but it's quicker to just long press the app icon in recents:

Wow, thanks! I found it and yes there's only a limited list of instances.
