I’ve joined here because I think Reddit’s quality is going to tank after June 30, but I downloaded Jerboa and it doesn’t seem to accept my credentials, regardless of instance.
I’m confused.
You point your sign in on Jerboa to the instance you created the account on, in this case, lemmy.world. If you’re having issues with that, wait a bit and try again. If you still have trouble, try posting in the [email protected] community.
FYI, the web page itself is a progressive web app. This means you can go to the web page in a mobile browser and click “add to home screen” and a shortcut shows up that behaves like an application. I think Jeroba will eventually be better than the PWA, but it’s not there yet in my opinion.
No major issues with jerboa from me but I find the mobile website here better right now. These apps need love and are usually open source so they can use help!
I did all of mine through jerboa. I don’t have much to offer but, dumb question, did you verify the account in the email? I had a weird sign in issue, not realizing verification was needed
The first local instance I signed up before I fully understood/realized what I was doing was focused on getting together a Chinese or Chinese American instance.
Seemingly decent, but I just really didn’t want to be barging in on something that wasn’t for me.
People seem to really be liking Jerboa, but I find it much simpler finding other instances in the web browser. I still have much to learn though.

Sort of unrelated to the general “Hey - I can’t seem to log onto the app” enquiry, but I would be interested in helping out to evolve a Chinese instance. I’m not American, but am interested in trying to be a part of the Pan-Asian community.

Oh hey! I didn’t know you could manually enter the instance - I thought you had to choose It let me log in! Thanks so much for the tip! :)

Sync for Lemmy will be coming out in 3-6 weeks (dev confirmed). I know that doesn’t help you now (sorry), but soon!
Use the web version to sign up for an instance before trying to sign in to that same instance on jerboa
On Lemmy.world? Or Lemmy.ml?
… I’m really confused about these different sites/instances/defederation.
