Don't apologize. All refugees are welcome here. Although... there is one small thing you could do to help. Maybe make an account on a less crowded instance? Too many people see "dev-run" and think "main instance". We do need to spread out a bit to make this sustainable.
I'm new here, too. How do I switch instances from the mobile app?
You just add another account under the arrow on the top left side. Then you can switch between the accounts on different instances if you like. But I prefer having one account only on a small instance.
Sorry to use you as tech support, but in what app? I tried jerboa and couldn't log in at all.
Why couldn't you log in? Yes Jerboa.
I couldn't find the login button. Every button I touched just told me to login first.
Yeah it's a common problem and I had it too. There was many threads about it. It's pretty much hidden.
Anyway, if you click on the top left hamburger menu in the app, there is a tiny arrow there at the top right. Click it. :)
That was it! Whoo boy yeah that could have been easier. Thank you!
And if you click login and don't see your instance, you can type it's name at the bottom of the list box.
It's a shame that these things are not better done, because once you are in the app and logged in to your instance, it's smooth sailing from there.
