      Serious Answer: This is a Jerboa issue. Lemmy is written in Rust. The error message is a Java error which is what native Android apps use.

        I think it’s both, actually. Lemmy is often giving html where json is expected, and Jerboa isn’t handling the error well.

          🤔 The server spits out html when it cannot reach the backend. So one could argue it’s a configuration issue because the admin didn’t provide enough capacity / didn’t set up a proper generic json error for backend failures.

          FWIW, Liftoff doesn’t handle these super gracefully either.

          At any rate I think it’s kinda awesome that we get to witness these kinds of infancy problems.
