Has anyone linked Signal and Molly on separate profiles on the same device?

I have Signal on my Owner profile and that works great. I also have a user profile that I use for work and I am in that profile a lot, so I installed Molly in that profile hoping to link it to my main Signal account in my Owner profile.

Problem:
I got the Link Device QR code in Molly, I used another device to take a picture of that since Molly does not allow taking screenshots. I then switched to my Owner profile to add the linked device in Signal, which worked, but when I switched back to my user profile, Molly reset itself and does not recognize the link.

I am on the Molly v7.8.1-1 downloaded from F-Droid.

    i think the trick is using a different version. Aka molly/signal foss and molly from google play in another.

    Signal only allows one mobile phone from what i remember.

      You're correct. That is why I installed Molly hoping that it would solve my problem.

      Since I already have Signal through the Play Store in my Owner profile, I could install Molly FOSS in my user profile, but it says I need to run my own server for unified push notifications. This is not ideal for my right now.

      @Nuttso - I would love to get your insight into this.

      Thank you.

        AttemptUndertook ive seen the workarounds answered here but cant find them in a search.

        I recall the signal-desktop maybe being necessary

        AttemptUndertook Okay, I just did it today and it's successful. I had a separate tablet. I backed up my original molly account and restored it on the tablet and then the tablet was the main account and then you can add 4 extra devices/profriles as you want. Molly , molly Foss, molly beta, signal, signal desktop, signal foss all good.

        One device is the "main" and it shouldn't be your phone. You will have to relink all the other instances but all my data transferred and we are good.

        I don't have that option under privacy in my Signal app.

        When I first launched Molly in my user profile, it asked me if I want to encrypt the database, and I said no. I tried linking again and I see the device name I gave Molly in my Signal app as linked, but messages are not coming in to Molly.

        Ah you're trying to link signal and molly. That doesn't work.
