I’d like to know what I am doing wrong when trying to log-in. I can’t be the only person having issues.
I have this account (Hazdaz) and I’ve tried logging into wefwef, Connect and Jerboa. On ALL three apps on my Samsung S21FE I get an error message that my credentials/password isn’t correct. I’ve used my PC and reset the password. Changed at least 2 times now and tried again logging into these 3 Android apps and the error is the same. What can I possibly be doing wrong? The only way I can access Lemmy is on a computer. I’ve asked about this a few days ago and some helpful people replied but nothing they suggested worked.
I JUST changed my password again. No special characters. Logged off my desktop, logged back in. No issues. Then tried it with Jerboa and no luck. I don’t know what I can possibly be doing wrong.
Make sure you are selecting the instance holding your account.
Eg: if you signed up on “lemmy.world”, then in your mobile app > in the log in page select “lemmy.world” then enter your creds and log in.
I have gone to that screen a million times now. I have tried lemmy.world and lemmy.ml (even though I am pretty sure it is .world). I have used “Hazdaz” “hazdaz” and “HAZDAZ” and I’ve triple checked my password. I’ve done this over and over and I always get “incorrect log-in” or something like that.
But every time I try to log in there is maintenance?! I just don’t get it. I’ve tried maybe 2 dozen times over the last week on multiple apps on multiple devices and same issue. I’ve reset my password multiple times. I’ve double, triple and quadruple checked the password I type in.
Is there a way for more than 2 people to have the same username?? That makes zero sense, but so does not being able to log-in on a mobile device and yet I can post this fine on my desktop.
I have tried username, I have tried email. I have tried all lowercase username. I have tried all uppercase username.
I have tried every imaginable combination and I feel I am missing something obvious. Do I have to enable access from my desktop to allow a mobile app to also log in? Makes no sense, but I’m running out of possible issues.
Saw your comment and moved from Jerboa to Connect. Loading is so much faster, but I do miss the body text preview square Jerboa has. I can only preview it on Connect using fullwidth I think, which takes up too much real estate per post.
Jerboa for me, too. Mostly because it was the first thing that came up on the app store for me, and there isn’t a Lemmy is Fun (…yet?). So I tried Jerboa and it’s perfectly capable.
My only complaint with Connect is that I’m using the dark theme, and so having a big white “refreshed” bar show up when I pull down my feed is jarring. I like jerboa’s cute spinny wheel better.
Wefwef. It’s incredibly polished and fast, especially for a webapp. It runs circles around new reddit performance wise, even with the servers being a raspi trampled by a horde of reddit refugees
Wefwef right now. I have been pretty pleased with it. Not sure who the the developer it but damn they’ve been rolling out updates daily. Sometimes multiple times a day. I don’t think the person is sleeping at this point.
Liftoff. I also tried Jerboa and Connect, but Liftoff just has the best look and feel. Having said that, as an old Boost for Reddit user I’ll be switching to Boost for Lemmy as soon as it releases.

How can this be so difficult?
might be wrong instance? nail down the instance/capitalization of the account. change password to no special characters… verify on desktop first.

Here is a screenshot from “jerboa”
I have gone to that screen a million times now. I have tried lemmy.world and lemmy.ml (even though I am pretty sure it is .world). I have used “Hazdaz” “hazdaz” and “HAZDAZ” and I’ve triple checked my password. I’ve done this over and over and I always get “incorrect log-in” or something like that.
I don’t know what else to do.
Lemmy.world is going through maintenance right now. I think it mostly finished yesterday though. Could have had something to do with it.
But every time I try to log in there is maintenance?! I just don’t get it. I’ve tried maybe 2 dozen times over the last week on multiple apps on multiple devices and same issue. I’ve reset my password multiple times. I’ve double, triple and quadruple checked the password I type in.

Might want to see if you can contact the devs for .world. They might be able to help you, it’s a strange issue you’re having.
When it asks for username type email instead the username does not seem to be valid when signing in I have found.
I have tried username, I have tried email. I have tried all lowercase username. I have tried all uppercase username.

Jerboa for now just waiting for boost to release on lemmy and then i will move.
I started with Jerboa but moved to Connect. Not as many issues as far as I can tell from the few days I’ve used both.
Saw your comment and moved from Jerboa to Connect. Loading is so much faster, but I do miss the body text preview square Jerboa has. I can only preview it on Connect using fullwidth I think, which takes up too much real estate per post.
Overall, still a huge improvement.
Same here, I miss Boost very much
wefwef and Liftoff until Sync arrives.
Just: Firefox.
Happy testing both liftoff and connect
Using Connect too, surprised I don’t hear more about it. It’s not perfect, but it’s pretty solid
Trying out Connect after using Liftoff for a while. The experience is well so far!
Jerboa for me, too. Mostly because it was the first thing that came up on the app store for me, and there isn’t a Lemmy is Fun (…yet?). So I tried Jerboa and it’s perfectly capable.
Jerboa for the most part. Allows me a couple of accounts and lets me keep them separate.
Liftoff is pretty decent too, except the both accounts sort of merge and show up in a single feed.
Really cannot wait for Boost. Seriously, so psyched!
In liftoff, you can tap the title in the middle and select the instance you want to see
I’m aware, but it is not working for me, at least the communities show up in either profile.
Connect has been awesome for Android - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kuroneko.lemmy_connect
My only complaint with Connect is that I’m using the dark theme, and so having a big white “refreshed” bar show up when I pull down my feed is jarring. I like jerboa’s cute spinny wheel better.
But, if that’s my biggest complaint ¯\(ツ)/¯
takes notes
Connect is easily the most feature-complete app I’ve found for Android at the moment, loving it here too
And the dev is rolling out features at a crazy pace. It feels like everytime I open the app it’s gotten significantly better
Me: “I wonder if this Connect could be better than what I’m using”
Also me: Already using Connect
Wefwef. It’s incredibly polished and fast, especially for a webapp. It runs circles around new reddit performance wise, even with the servers being a raspi trampled by a horde of reddit refugees
Thank you for the wefwef recommendation. I’m just now trying it out and it feels very polished.
Wefwef right now. I have been pretty pleased with it. Not sure who the the developer it but damn they’ve been rolling out updates daily. Sometimes multiple times a day. I don’t think the person is sleeping at this point.
It’s open source and there’s a ton of open PRs. Lots of people want Apollo back.
I’m on iOS. I’ve tried Liftoff!, Mlem and Thunder. So far I like Mlem the most.
I have never used Boost for Reddit, but I’m still excited to see what Boost for Lemmy will be like.
If you liked Apollo, try wefwef.app
It’s a PWA but works extraordinarily well
Thanks, I’ll check it out.
Wefwef but I’ll be using sync once it’s available
Liftoff. I also tried Jerboa and Connect, but Liftoff just has the best look and feel. Having said that, as an old Boost for Reddit user I’ll be switching to Boost for Lemmy as soon as it releases.
I use liftoff and it is a good enough experience. It keeps getting more polished which is nice.
Just waiting patiently for boost.
