Same here, Jam are a cool feature but we can't start one in Linux, this is real sad and we feel like second-class users while we are paying like the others !

Update to jam feature. I was able to start a jam, but was unable to join an existing jam.

When trying to join jam, app does receive something from opening the link (see below). But nothing beyond this.

Workaround: join jam on phone and swap active device to desktop.

Same problem here. Have tried both Snap and .deb versions of the spotify-client package under Linux mint. I can't see "nearby" jams on the same network, and when I click links to join a jam they're not recognised as Spotify URIs and they just open in Firefox and don't forward the link to the spotify client. Also tried Chromium browser with the same result.

Most spotify URLs you can open in the app from on the commandline as https $ spotify https://open.spotify.com/track/1QgLpUJsmrLG61KDVGT0Ux?si=82c8d692881a401d or the same with the spotify URL schema spotify spotify:track:1QgLpUJsmrLG61KDVGT0Ux However, neither of these methods work for jams using the spotify provided share links. Something is broken inside the linux client. The only workaround is to start the jams myself, since I can't join any.

I found a workaround for this issue...
Form the short URL spotify.link/ABABABABABAB use get the FULL URL (either from opening it in the browser or a using a service like spotify-uri-url-converter)
From the FULL URL: open.spotify.com/socialsession/ABC123ABC123ABC123ABC123

Now just use the URI: spotify:socialsession:ABC123ABC123ABC123ABC123
