No idea if this is possible, but if someone posts a link to a post using an instance url it would be nice to have it try to open it as a post instead of opening the in-app browser

I’ve found this to be an issue as well, makes it difficult to subscribe to a new community in another instance that I find browsing All.

Yeah, it bugs me too. Even the
/c/mlemapplink in the settings of the app opens up in an in-app browser. That said, I’m really grateful for the free work the devs are doing for the community. It’s still early days. I’ll see if i can contribute via code.jojo@beehaw.org · 3 pts · 3y
It's difficult to add URL handlers for this, however, it could be solved in two ways with a code change;
You can "share" the URL to Mlem, which can then look if its a post/comment url, and then display it natively. (tracked at https://github.com/buresdv/Mlem/issues/104)
You can copy-paste it in the search bar, which'll then show the same, this one is tracked at https://github.com/buresdv/Mlem/issues/83
