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.
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.
Use the web version to sign up for an instance before trying to sign in to that same instance on jerboa
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.
I believe it was latte.isnot.coffee, but it appears they recently opened up. Or I was just a confused new user and didn’t realize what instance the community/post was under. You can search for instances at: https://browse.feddit.de/ In cased you missed it, Beehaw defederated at the start of the recent big Reddit migration, so we won’t receive any external post/updates and vise-versa outside of your own instance. If I’m oversimplifying or need correction - anyone correct me!
