I just downloaded summit. I can vote and do other things but I couldnt comment.

Here’s the error:

LemmyAction failed. Cause: com.idunnololz.summit.lemmy.actions.LemmyActionFailureReason.UnknownError. Details: UnknownError(errorCode=401, errorMessage=Not signed in)

after some investigating, I tried posting this on the mobile client and saw an error that said im not allowed to post because I am on a VPN. turned my VPN off, tried posting my comment in the app, then it worked.

just thought you should know this error is incorrect and sent me down a rabbit hole. maybe there’s something you can do to update this on your end? not sure though…

have a great day! love the app so far

    I think this is a server issue/bug. The client treats all 401 errors as “not signed in errors”. Here is the doc for a 401:

    The HTTP 401 Unauthorized client error response status code indicates that a request was not successful because it lacks valid authentication credentials for the requested resource. This status code is sent with an HTTP WWW-Authenticate response header that contains information on the authentication scheme the server expects the client to include to make the request successfully.
