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 jerboa@lemmy.world community.
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
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!
So it’s helpful to think of each lemmy server as its own “mini reddit”. It has its own collection of users and communities ( similar to subreddits). The cool thing is you can sign up from any of the lemmy servers and then subscribe to communities and interact with users from any other server. This is because all servers “talk” to all other servers, as long as they’re not defederated ( See beehaw).
I think what the user above you was saying is to do the sign up on your desktop, with the server of your choice (lemmy.world is a decent choice). And then try logging into Jerboa using your credentials( and remembering which server you used to sign up-you can’t sign into a different server from the one you created your account on)
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.

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!

Yes I did…

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.
