I use jerboa a lot cos I like the layout, but have to use interstellar for my piefed one.

Why does Jerboa often tell me my account is being verified? I’ve had it ages

    I didn’t expect to find this here. You can ask Jerboa stuff in the Jerboa community.

    We used to receive lots of noise regarding “Jerboa not working” due to external factors, i.e not caused by Jerboa. To avoid this and help/inform the user. I created this “verification” system.

    Upon account login/switch or invalidation (like networks calls start failing)

    the active account under goes verification.

    This means Jerboa checks if:

    • phone has internet
    • account still has a valid login token
    • The instance is not down
    • Your account is not banned
    • Your account is not deleted

    Usually this doesn’t take long. I should probably document this somewhere but not sure where.
