You need to wait the node to sync, you have a symbol on the app one top rigth that shows you if the node is synchronized or not, than you can interact there.
Discussion
Been open for hours
It's little buggy yet but it's working, it's strange that is happen to not work to you, type text on random chat to see if the testbot replies
If past chats don't load, that should be added in the text cuz other wise it's confusing
Past chats don't load, you start seeing the chats from the time you first log in.
But it is in alpha release, so expect to get better, the app even don't have the applications that you have if you connect on computer and having there a node running, there you have P2P chats, you have a private key and a public key to connect with people, but expect that soon 😉
There is nothing like this for messages, this is truly a game changer in censorship resitance anonymous chat 😉
Either no one has said shit in any channels for a day or something is broken
They said, i was on there yesterday and the conversation was going on, maybe install again to see, with me it work, and with many people that installed the app yesterday were communicating there.
The app is alpha release so it will be improved.
And the best way to use DarkFI at the moment is on computer running a node a using a IRC chat application 😁
yeah I wouldn't be too surprised if there's basically zero usage right now
Its not the case, i use it kn PC before the app lunch and the conversation and chats is going on. Maybe a bug because the app is in alpha
