Its going to be a challenge since many instances will not be familiar to the app right now until they are added.
- Is this an inApp setting or an OS setting?
  
  Edit: Found it! On Android: Apps>Jerboa for Lemmy > Standard > Supported Links
My understanding is that an app needs to register the URLs it wants to try to open before it can open them. This means Jerboa world need to manually add each link as new instances pop up.

This has already been done with many major instances. If you go to your phone's Settings, then go Apps>Default Apps>Opening Links>Jerboa (or something similar, may change depending upon your phone manufacturer) you'll see a checklist of all currently registered links. Check those, and Jerboa will start opening those links.
Agreed, one of my biggest issues with the app right now. If it were easier to click through to other communities, it would be much easier to find and join new ones.
