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 – 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 – i hope. 🚀

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

        Tried again and it works now using Jerboa. Don’t known what made the difference, but I did change my password, which seemed to help for someone else, too.

        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.

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

              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?
