Couple things to know re: Jerboa and lemmy
A) long passwords: if you signed up for Lemmy with a password that's more than 60 characters, the lemmy UI silently truncated it to 60 characters without telling you. When you login via a browser, it also truncates your password, so it still works. However, Jerboa does not truncate the password, so you can't login with what you think is the right password.
Immediate personal fix is to change your password to something between 10 and 60 characters.
the lemmy devs are aware that silently changing people's passwords isn't ideal and are discussing what the right change is.
B) Occasionally I have to force stop the Jerboa app, clear all of it's saved data and re login to fix it's quirks. Super annoying but doesn't happen too often, so... ๐คท
