![[Question] How to get Jerboa to open links to more instances?](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/4a0c02b4-0d00-43bc-94cd-a14c2574280b.png){kind=link}
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!
I’m using Jerboa and I don’t see that option, where did you find it?
Yeah, sorry, I should have been clearer that it’s in App Info, not Jerboa’s settings.
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.
I don’t see it either. Just updated to the latest version and I can’t scroll through all of the options in Look and Feel. You can barely see an option check box at the bottom, but I can’t scroll the screen down to see it, so maybe it’s there, I just can’t get to it?
you’re in the settings within Jerboa.
you need to open Androids App Info of Jerboa, an Android Settings Menu about the installed App Jerboa, not a setting within Jerboa.
Yeah, I did this too. I was just showing that I can’t scroll down in the settings section of Jerboa. Maybe should have started a new thread for that.
but… it’s there… “supported links”!
Yeah, but it only features 8 or so instances and there’s no way currently to add any more (nor to replace any of those that are there). It’ll get worked out, though, I’m sure.
