Can i add an account created on an instance not listed when logging in?

When adding an acoount to jerboa you have to choose an instance to log in. If i create an account on an instance not listed can i still add this account or is the app only for the listed instances?

Hey, I just went through this process too and it was a little confusing. I was able to type in the name of the instance I signed up on and it worked.

Mine worked too; the list that it has is just some of the big ones, I think.

Yes, you can just type out the instance host name in the instance input.

You can type in the instance url. It doesn't have to be listed.

yes, you just have to type the domain name (for example "lemm.ee") and type your credentials

Yep, instead of picking one from the drop down, start typing one in. Use the URL of the instance where you opened an account.
