oh, okay. i think i understand the situation now. the version on the play store is a bit older because something broke with the release pipeline :/ i will fix it but im a bit busy atm so we'll see when ill be able to do it
but the bottom line is: sorry about it not working, we'll be working on it, for now just use the F-Droid version
what instance were you trying to sign into? because i just tried it with lemmy.ml and it works. also could you also say the version of the app? (you can find it in settings->about lemmur)
in general there's some stuff in the app that might not work because we haven't updated the app to work with the latest changes to the api yet. but basic stuff works, that's something that i'm sure of
edit: also wanted to note that this is not an official app, we are independently working on it as a hobby. the official android app is being worked on but idk how far are they with the project
i have to strongly disagree. they do a lot of stuff that would be regarded as evil: making their devices as hard to repair as possible, fucking over independent developers, pushing their subscriptions inside of iOS ("get Apple Arcade/Music/TV Free for 3 Months!" with hopes that you forget about them charging your card). the bottom line is that privacy (or rather the perception of privacy) is their brand so they have to do things that reinforce it in minds of their users.
not right now, but we could add an option to hide read posts (not on individual level but on the level of the whole list). since API provides that information i think it would be fairly easy to implement.
