Hi there

I really like voyager's ui and thanks hugely to the devs for making it. I'm probably being dumb but is there any way to join a "custom" instance, not in the list that defaults to lemmy.zip? I've created an account elsewhere.

I'm using 2.49.1, f droid installed.

There is a button that does not look like a button at all, and has a bit illogical text on it. The devs say it's not a problem but nobody seems to understand it :D

So, press that plaintext looking thing below everything else and you'll be good to go. I nowadays prefer Blorp, but used to use Voyager.

Thanks so much for replying. I being dumb. A few pics of what I see - 1 -- I can't find any text there that isn't a button! (Posting from Summit. I prefer voyager. Yet to try Blorp)

"Log In" from the first picture. then enter your instance's url.

Yeah, now I remember what the problem is precisely. To choose another server, you must press "Log in" although there is a button that literally says "Choose another server".

It's super misleading and I've answered questions about this same problem many times during the last year and a half.

Need to remember more precisely what the solution is. Thanks for the screenshots!
