Thanks for all your work! Definitely the best Lemmy app I've used.

I'm getting a similar error as before, regarding scrolling. I got to a point where every scroll event is causing this to appear.

I'll see if I can reproduce it, and what the steps are.

Update: It's the same behavior as last time. I can load about 100 posts, and then I start seeing this error on every scroll, and no more posts get loaded.

Hey there! I haven’t had time to post a proper update yet, but I had to roll back the fix for this. It turns out the fix was causing some users to be unable to load the All/Local feeds at all.

This ended up being a bit of a catch-22 situation: I could keep the fix and completely break feeds for some users, or revert it and limit affected instances (running Lemmy v0.19.14) to about ~100 posts.

For now, here are a couple of ways to work around this issue:

Lemmy released v0.19.15 which fixes this issue. If your home instance updates to this version, that should resolve the issue automatically.
Otherwise, you can temporarily switch to another instance while your home instance updates.

All and local no longer work at all since the update. It looks like it's loading but doesn't load.

Hey there, could you submit a GitHub issue on this with some additional details (e.g., instance, reproducible steps, video recording, Thunder settings, etc.)

I'm unable to reproduce the issue on my end so it could be something more user-specific!

There's no error message, just forever loading. Steps to reproduce would be open the app and click all or local. I'm on a Samsung 25 ultra.

Hmm strange, I'm still unable to reproduce the issue. Are you experiencing this issue across different instances (e.g., lemmy.world, lemmy.zip, etc.) or is it isolated to one instance in particular? I'm trying to isolate whether this is an instance-specific issue or a more generic issue.

Could you also let me know if it occurs when you're logged in, logged out, or both? Thanks!

It seems to work fine when I switch to anonymous. It must be a lemmy.zip issue. I don't understand how all these things work.
