I just downloaded Signal to try it out for the first time. There are no contacts on my list when I click the pencil button. Does that mean that no one in my contact list has this app or is it a bug? (lemmy.world)

There are at least two criteria for a contact to appear:

  • the contact needs to use signal
  • they must not have disabled contact discovery (which I think is now disabled by default)

If you know they have signal, you can send a message request and they can accept it for you to be able to chat.
