Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

I'm still having a bit of trouble using Lemmy. I have Jerboa on my phone but I can't use it right now, it says something about a version lower than v0.18 and trying a different instance and I can't log-in on my phone's browser because the circle just keeps spinning. I'm on my laptop and I feel like if I log this out, I'm gonna have troubles logging in again.
I had the same issue. It seems that lemmy.world is not yet upgraded to 0.18, but Jerboa requires it. I was able to fix it by downloaded an older version of Jerboa (specifically, version 0.34 or older).
I later switched to Liftoff, which seems to be a much smoother experience.
Had the same problem, I'm using Connect for Lemmy on Android right now, hope it helps. However I'm using Sync for Lemmy once the development ends
Just installed connect. It's nice!
Connect doesn't work for me. It's not letting me log-in. Liftoff works though. I know this is free but using it is a lot harder than I thought it would.
People need to stop recommending lemmy.world when it has so many people already; join lemm.ee, vlemmy.net, or lemmy.one instead.
Or see if there's an instance for your local community. For example I'm Dutch, so I joined feddit.nl. This makes filtering by Local (as opposed to Subscribed or All) actually usefully to see what's new on communities on the instance.
Well, part of it is the lemmy.world instance struggling with all the new user influx. The Jerboa issue will hopefully get fixed later today when lemmy.world updates to version 0.18.1 (fingers crossed it sticks this time).
If you are looking for other options to interface with Lemmy, there is a list of all current (and upcoming) apps here: https://lemmy.world/post/465785
I was looking for a list like that a minute ago. Thanks!
Lemmy.world just upgraded to 0.18 a couple of hours ago. Still a little sluggish but has improved significantly over the last half hour.
Lemmy.world is a heavily loaded instance. You may be better off trying somewhere smaller. lemmy.one is pretty decent.
