What type of feature is this?

  • label: Client
  • label: Feature

What feature would you like implemented?

Better error message when trying to login in mastodon client.

Why should we add this feature?

Default login is not working. Login with Browser which works is hidden behind in Pachli, which can be hard to discover for new users. Wondering if clearer instructions could be given to direct users to that method. If this is a Pachli feature request, let me know and I'll file the request there.

The root cause seems to be that the Firefish web client does not work well with in-app browsers (under some circumstances), and this problem has been around for quite some time (#10146).
