It seems that a lot of new people have learned about these platforms from a popular post on Reddit. We currently see 78 notifications (and counting) and a pile of applications on piefed.ca

I am pinning this thread on both platforms for new users to pop in to and ask questions. Please give them a warm welcome!

    For sure! Here is what I did:

    1. Tap the profile icon in the middle of the bar at the bottom of the screen (it might have the text “lemmy.zip”)
    2. Tap “Get Started”
    3. Select “Log in”
    4. Type in “piefed.ca”, and confirm that you understand the support is experiemental
    5. Log in with your username and password

    The same app can be used to sign in to a number of websites, so that might be the point of confusion. However, once you have signed in, you should be able to use it normally from here on out :)

      Thank you for this. This is exactly what I’ve done and I run into a connection error notice. Turned off wifi and tried again, still not working.

        Can you try again now? I think there are two potential causes:

        • Our server is being overloaded with new people
        • Around 15 minutes ago, we upgraded the server specs to handle the increased load, and so it might have been down right as you were trying it

          I just reinstalled Voyager and tried it all again and the same error is occurring.

          I will take a break for now and try again later on. I love how much help I’ve received and hopefully my issue can be resolved and help others in the future.
