Accessing self-hosted instances via the official Fluxer apps

(#1223) Feature Shipped desktop self-hosting
by RexSystem edited originally by @davefatkin on GitHub

Problem

Good morning! I've got a brand new Fluxer v2 self-hosted instance running and I'm kicking the tires. That said, I don't see how it's currently possible to access my instance via the Fluxer Windows desktop app or the beta Flutter app on Android. Is it currently not possible or did I miss something? Is there a command line arg that can be passed into the desktop client, maybe?

Proposal

Allow the official apps to optionally log into self-hosted instances.

Notes

Congratulations on v2!

It already is possible, you can switch instances via the Account Switcher menu, although it is currently broken. I was able to patch a quick fix and get it working.
