Found several community links in some chats. But clicking on them, opens the link in browser with an error. Is there some way to directly open the links in the Jerboa app?

Enable app links in Android app settings. Then links will open directly in Jebora.

presumably you can do this in the app, I have not tried as the process is cumbersome and much easier on pc.

you basically have to find the !community@domain string, then copy it and paste it back into your home instance search field & search for it, then navigate to it from your home instance to subscribe to it. i kind of got into a groove with it earlier and subbed to at least once community on each of these --> https://join-lemmy.org/instances
