There is currently something going on over at Lemmy.world causing authentication issues. This isn’t a memmy specific issue but is also plaguing the PWA. https://lemmy.world/post/1364490
Until this is fixed, the best bet it to just keep “retrying”. This would explain some of the issues I thought were linked to issues inside the app but might be something else.
I have an update ready that will fix a bunch of these internal issues with the app, but unfortunately it’s going to break Lemmy.world terribly for anyone using it, so I’m going to hold off on releasing that until they figure out what is going on.
I still think lemmy and it’s likes are still getting a lot of core issues worked out. This feels like beta software and with the major version being 0 it’s understandable for me. I think a disclaimer that the tech is new and may have issues would help with keeping people from writing it if entirely.
