The latest version seems to be having trouble loading anything for me. I’m on an iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 17.4.1.
Edit: as more info, it doesn’t seem to want to load Subscriptions, Local Posts, or All feeds. It does load communities if I click through from the drawer or Search.
Edit 2: I tried deleting the app and reinstalling. It worked initially, but then stopped working when I imported my settings. At some other time I can try deleting and then manually re-doing all of my settings.
Edit 3: Ok. I deleted and reinstalled again. And then I slowly started adjusting settings, checking whether the app was still working along the way. It seems to be the “Show Full Image Height” that breaks the app for me. I toggled it a few times. When it’s off, the feeds load fine. When it’s on, feeds just give me a spinning circle of death. I’ve typically had that setting on, but will leave off for now.
Edit 4: Upon further testing, that setting may or may not be the culprit… seems to be working alright after turning it back on again.
