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.

same thing happens to me in a web browser and in the ios app (mlem)

probably just one of those early-tech things the devs need to work through and find a better implementation

it's a bit cumbersome, but you have to copy the text of the community and search for it from your own instance's search box

I hear you -- thanks! I guess I need to figure out how to copy that link text in Jerboa, haha.
