Thanks for the update!

The app was crashing for me on startup like other people have described. I reset the data and as soon as I enabled "Hide username in account picker", it started crashing on startup again.

So that's the issue then? Has anyone reported this on the github issue tracker?

[โ€“] mom@nom.mom 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Doesn't look like it. Go for it! (Sync doesn't crash for me, or I'd take care of it)

[โ€“] can@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Done! Do you have "Hide username in account picker" enabled? If not don't try it. I wonder if I edited that out of my account backup would it work.

[โ€“] mom@nom.mom 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Hah, I do not have it enabled and will heed your warning. Thanks :-P Hope that's a thing that gets addressed soon, for you guys!

I was able to load a post from my browser and disable the setting. All is working now. Hopefully an update gets pushed soon before more people give up and clear their data or move to another app.
