    I don’t know how some find it hard to sign up here. I just googled aussie zone, followed the prompts to login (I think Chrome keeps my deets) and I’m in and I’m technically challenged. Like I only learnt how to screen shot last night.

    Also I think we do need to come up with a new name like Tinybreak suggested. Something like The Melbourne Literary and Microwave Potato Society.

        Oh no shade. I was just curious as to what was going wrong for many because I know it’s a little glitchy but it was workable for me. I’m thinking there is probably other ways to get in to here that I am oblivious to. I hope you’re all good now.

          It’s quite glitchy for me on my phone - the app just doesn’t work for some reason. But the browser page is working just fine, so as long as that still works, we are all good.

            Yeah I’m using the browser on my phone. I don’t need to sign in everytime. I didn’t need to change my user name. The hardest thing was coming up with a password that it liked because it kept saying weak.

        See I don’t know what that means having never facebooked. My husband has always said to me If in doubt back out. The back button is your friend.

        I may have been known to do that. But excessive alcohol consumption was involved.

      undefined> Also I think we do need to come up with a new name like Tinybreak suggested.

      I missed this - what’s the idea behind changing the name? Is it just to separate us from the Reddit DT?

        Yeah I think so. The Fun dt vs the reddit dt. No competition though just friendly fire.

      you know what is tricky though, successfully searching for other fediverse communities. like on beehaw & kbin. seems to work somethimes, then not work others. i followed guides to it so i’ve got the syntax down. it just doesn’t work sometimes.

        See this is all in another language that I don’t understand. I hope everything works smoothly for you in the future.

          …and now apparently the Jerboa has been updated, but Lemmy hasn’t yet so the app is incompatable from the aussie.zone instance… instance needs to be on 0.18.0…i have no idea what any of this means yet…

            Haha. All I’ve understood so far is that Jerboa is an an app for Android and you can access other stuff on it and it’s a bit shit.

      I had problems this morning signing up. It looked like it was forever loading and not going to the next screen or registering or logging me on.

        Oh. I hate when things don’t work straight away because I immediately think is it me? What’s happening? Back out, back out, back out.
