    How come this comment isn’t clickable in the app, and you have to open a browser to see it?

      Depends on the Lemmy app you use and your phone preferences for app opening certain links in different apps ( e.g. PayPal specific links may open in the PayPal app)

        Thanks, I’m in voyager on Android. In the app settings, I can choose to open the link either “with default browser” or “in app”.

        Even if it is set to “in app”, the app renders a browser window instead of just taking me to that comment in the thread.

        Weird.

          Try restarting your app. That can happen if an API request fails (or if you Lemmy instance isn’t federated with the target instance)

            Ah this is a good point too, unfederated links could do it since the app wouldn’t know how to open it, I use sync and links usually work but occasionally will open in the browser.
