I’m on the assumption this is a Bug. I’ve made it so many links i have to other instances SHOULD open in the app by supporting those links. Instead it crashes the app upon clicking the link.
This makes it very inconvenient to find and subscribe to new communities. I would have to look for the community myself after knowing about it since the community which showcases all the new communities doesn’t have a hyperlink that works, it just crashes the app and take me back to my home screen.
Quick edit: clicking the links that are supposed to redirect you to the community within your instance crashes it, whether you make it open in the app or on a browser. It just crashes.
I’ve been experiencing the same. The only instance links which don’t crash the app, open in a browser from the perspective of that instance, where I’m not logged in. So there’s no “easy” way to subscribe.
