Is there going to be a bug fix for friend requests and uploading avatars? I feel like we can't really do servers if we can't even friend people on there. The banner works fine, but I can't seem to update my avatar/logo for some reason. Hopefully those issues can be resolved soon 🤞

Yeah I got the verification code fast somehow last night, but then when I click the button it opens to the blank page saying server cannot be found or whatever. Hoping my verification code sitll works and we just gotta wait for them to fix it. Poor stoat.. Overloaded bc we amn wanna migrate lol

Yes that's absolutelt what's causing the problems. They were also already in the middle of changing their stuff so they got double caught fof guard by migration. Some aren't getting verification e mail, but I got one but clicking it leads to 'server host page can't be found' or soemthing similar

There's one HUGE aggravation that's seriously pissing me off... I wanna log into the app (cuz I'm only logged into the browser version), but every time I'm inputting my password, I KEEP getting the goddamn "LockedOut" message, and I'm sick and tired of it...

Still can't login on the app. I've got my browser signed in but the app just keeps saying "something went wrong!". I dont' know if it's me being on linux or the server just still having an issue. Either way, from what I see your platform looks cool. Hope stuff quiets down so I can use it normally

Have had a similar experience for the last few days (not linux) so I'm assuming it's just "ow, user load" Happy enough to wait if it's a good platform myself, so mostly just want to say gl to the team in navigating the probably unexpected user count

Yeah, i'm pretty sure it's just the servers being crushed by the weight of discords hubris. But now that i'm logged in it seems fine. A bit feature lite, but that's fine. Otherwise it's damned good, even does some stuff better.

I had the same issue. I tried it with the android app. It seems to have better error messages. In my case it was an issue with my password. It was compromised and I had to choose a different one

Any idea why it will only work on wifi and not mobile data? Leaves me unable to use it at all half the week. Hoping this is fixable. Also are there plans to have a notification alert as well? I have them enabled and not getting any sound.

I still cannot even access the main page. Chrome says the page doesn't exist and yells at me to flush my DNS, and I can't create an account on the mobile app either

I wanted to make an account on y'alls app and I wasn't sure if I should right now or wait a bit more until it gets more stable... Has anyone made an account and can tell me here or in DMs if it's safe, like malware/tracking wise?

Are your guys no longer using LLMs and commited to no longer using them in the future? Happy to switch from Discord but I have a strong distaste for Gen AI and my community would not like it either.

I hope it won't have to resort to people giving up ids to verify, There should be workarounds that don't require giving up such sensitive information. Glad they're not using AI though.

Update: Tried it on the mobile app. There I got a "Compromised Password" error. I used a different password and I'm now waiting for the verification mail

Was just wondering if the stoat name is here to stay, It isn't exactly something the rolls off the tongue to ppl or communicates what it is well to ppl I tell about it. Perhaps something like "reflect" "refract" or "Uprise" that you can have a plural of (i.e. servers = uprisings) just an idea

Sincerely, thank you for supporting us in our time of need. This weekend when I am off work I am going to begin migrating my community to your platform. Please, please, never do what Discord and all these other corporations are doing, and I will stand by you as long as you're around.

they are partially blacklisted by mail providers because of the massive, unusual uptick in mail volume... They fell victim to their unexpected success 🙃 it's an automated thing and is pretty common when a normally quiet service starts blasting emails. Give it some time and it'll get sorted out.

Hey stoat team! Was wondering if you had any guidance on androids not being able to connect. The app hangs at the login screen, and I can't connect through chrome either. FAQ #7 says its likely a whitelisting issue or similar thing. Any guidance on where to look to bypass these hurdles?
