@peteyboy , @dragfyre ,I have had mixed results with certs in Deedum. I was able to create one (the trick, that I didn't know, is to leave the "cert" and "key" fields empty), but this space's sign up link wouldn't work. I signed up using some other client, then copied and pasted the cert in Deedum, and it worked from there on.

I've used Deedum as my only Android client for years, and I love it. Handling certs is a little tricky, and the menus aren't laid out in the most intuitive way. But once you learn where everything is located, it works great.

Well, small update in case anyone is interested: I got to fork, clone into Android studio and finally get the app to run in an emulator... but to do so I basically had to upgrade dependencies/Gradle/kotlin/what got you, a bunch...
My main motivation, though, is to keep Deedum compatible with old Android versions, so I'll have to check exactly what happened to that after I built this on Studio. It's been a while since I tinkered with these things, I don't even remember how you configured the "minimum version" and things like that...
I'm taking a look at the (flutter, new to me) code to get an idea where things are, as soon as I have some free time I'll start fiddling 😃
So, how *does* one get and apply a cert in deedum? I'm here at bbs.geminispace.org, I press "sign up" and I get a dialog. On that page, if I go to the "Add to Identity" menu item, I also get a dialog. What am I supposed to do to get an cert to the website? Thanks in advance.

@peteyboy , have in mind that I did all this the very first day I discovered Gemini. Not sure I remember it all correctly, but I think I did it like this:
1- create a cert from Lagrange on my phone. sign up on bbs
2- export cert
3- scp cert/key to tablet, import it on Deedum by copy/pasting (quite tedious)
4- "add to identity" while browsing bbs.
5- reload the page. it recognizes the cert and "logs me in".
sometimes it doesn't 'log in' automatically. I might have to take a look at how that works and see if it's supposed to remember it...
Anyone using Deedum? — I was wondering if anyone else is using this client (deedum). I have an old Android tablet I can't really upgrade (vendor no longer exists, no support whatsoever), and Deedum seems to be the only Gemini client I can run on it. Plus, I really like it. However, it doesn't seem to be very popular. Anyone? (also, first thing I ever write on Gemini, besides guesses for Wordo and Spellbinding :) . Hello everyone!) (editing to see if I can manage to add newlines from this...
