I've been getting this error since public release. I've tried reinstalling the app a few times, but it persists.

Tried attaching a screenshot, but I get the error: SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data

So here is an imgur instead

Same issue. Tried reinstalling the app, but it didn't help. Not on lemmy.world

Favorite quotes/character moments from the game? This one from Joyce is a top contender for me in c/discoelysium@lemmy.zip

Cross-Instance Links (midwest.social)

Links to other instances always say I'm logged out (which, technically, I am) that makes the link useless.

For example, I am logged in at my home instance of https://midwest.social If I click a link to go to https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy_support it takes me to that community, but I am not logged in (to lemmy.ml) so I am unable to meaningfully interact with it. I have to manually edit each lemmy URL that I go to in the URL bar in order for me to go to that community with my lemmy account.

So I need to manually change https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy_support into https://midwest.social/c/lemmy_support@lemmy.ml and I have to do this each time I click a link to another instance if I want to post there.

I've been a system administrator for 20 years, and this took me a few minutes to figure out. "Casual" users are just going to be SOL since they aren't going to be analyzing editing URLs to make them work. I feel like the only want to fix this is to have a browser addon intercept any lemmy URLs and modify them to work based on your home instance.

Am I doing something wrong, or is this just how it is?

Problem has improved, but is not gone in c/main@midwest.social

Has the influx of new members exacerbated this issue? I found this thread because I'm seeing a few '504 Gateway Timeout' errors occasionally.

Hello! I do IT for the government. Currently in STL (not technically midwest, depending on who you ask) but I grew up in Michigan. I came here due to the news that Reddit will be soon charging 3rd party apps exorbitant and unsustainable (which is probably their goal) prices. Also on Mastodon: https://hachyderm.io/@Arindrew
