I feel like a complete moron, but I downloaded Sync for Lemmy and I can't figure out how to login :( I did manage to switch the default instance to my own, but I see nowhere to enter my credentials.
It looks nice though
Should be two text boxes under the list box with instances where you can write username and password. If you don't see them it could be a bug, because they are hard to miss...
click the icon on the top left, then click add account and enter your credentials
Yep. Super moron. I must have opened that menu a hundred times but I somehow never saw that the top was actually an item. I always just saw the icon and assumed it was a "sync" banner.
Thanks!
No you're not. A good gui design should be intuitive for other to figure out easily, even for a moron. So, there could be a room for improvement to consider.
I just absolutely did not see the giant link to "Add Account" staring me in the face. I went looking through every setting and assumed it would be under "set home instance" somewhere.
