Feel welcome to use this post for testing purposes, feedback on the instance and to say hi!

Since the playground model wasn't really that good (it prevents users from making things their home), I've decided not to announce this instance to be in playground/testing mode. Instead, i'll simply try to make it work and hope that it won't become an administrative nightmare.

However โ€“ things are looking quite good so far.

In the background i am currently trying to determine whether the current location is powerful enough midterm, if not, there will be a quick and quiet maintenance to move the thing to a more fitting place (looking at the potential upcoming wave from Reddit). Also there are some smaller things in the background still being worked on, but they shouldn't affect users.

tl;dr have fun, if everything goes well, this will be a permanent place for people to enjoy โ€“ i hope. ๐Ÿš€

This is great!

However I can't connect to https://discuss.tchncs.de/ using lemmy apps from F-Droid.

Both lemmur and Jerboa consider this URL to be no lemmy instance.

What could be the reason for this?

Is there some API option that needs to be activated on the server?

I sadly can't test android apps right now, but what i can say is that the Mlem iOS client does indeed work. Hmm ๐Ÿค”

Getting 'could not connect' on Mlem.. hmm. Using 'discuss.tchncs.de' in the Homepage field.

[โ€“] milan@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

are you trying your email as username? as of the recent release that doesnt seem to work anymore

[โ€“] FapFlop@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Username as username. Also, holy crap. Inline updates for comments? This is neat.

[โ€“] milan@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

hm... since it throws that useless error on my example... maybe something else is wrong? maybe a space added to the password or uppercase/lowercase problem with the username?

[โ€“] FapFlop@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Got it. Password manager/integration issue. Was selecting the account from Bitwarden to fill the password field. Copying the value from BW directly and then pasting got me in. Weird.

[โ€“] milan@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago

weird indeed as i am using bitwarden as well... for me its just watching out for the username...

I just logged in from jerboa. Lemmur is sort of abandoned right now so it might have it's own issues.

[โ€“] silmaril@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago

Had the same problem on another device. It worked after removing 'http://' from the URL. It seems Jerboa just doesn't accept URLs in the instance field.
