I had managed to sign up back in December from the computer. Long term it might be good for people to be able to sign up via phone but making it clear how it can be used on a phone is FAR more important. I primarily do social media from my phone & Damus was still in beta back in December.
I only gave it my public key while it was in TestFlight & then also later on. Nothing in the app made it clear that not being able to post was because of that. And there’s a toggle for “public key” in the app soooo…
In fact the app gave me a message that actually just made me think I had set up my account too long ago to be able to post anymore. I thought I was honestly going to have to start over.
I think I’m typing this out less for a response to the individual in this thread and more as a documentation of experience for anyone interested. Derek Ross (npub18am…p424) is basically the only person I have memorized to tag. I’m pretty sure I followed the Damus dev but can’t remember his name.
I’m not completely dumb about tech so a lot of my frustrations have been thanks to presentation I believe and unclear messaging various places & at various times.
Iris.to is noted now too for new accounts (that was not the path I went, I have notes somewhere on what I actually did.)
