Comment on Using Molly (Signal) with UnifiedPush
victorz@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoI tried every way I could find but every path I took in the setup process of Molly told me to scan a QR code, but how tf do I scan a QR code with my phone, that is shown on my phone’s screen. So I gave up. I really tried to make Molly a linked device. 🤷♂️ If anybody has the exact process for this, please hit me with a reply. Would love to try Molly on the side of Signal proper, without losing Signal as the main app/device.

Take a picture of the code with a webcam or another phone, worked for me.

Really though? 😆 I guess that’s what I gotta do. But what if I didn’t have another camera lol. This whole setup would fall miserably. Just let me have a look I can click as well. 💀

You can use scrcpy or similar to mirror your phone screen, and/or take a screenshot

I won’t do any of this stuff, mostly because I don’t care enough to test it, and I soft-refuse to get this to work unless it’s in a way the app developers intended. I don’t know why I have this principle. The shit needs to work without workarounds, otherwise it’s bad design. Kind of?
But I really appreciate the help, regardless. ❤️
