Awesome release loving the app!
Edit: I downloaded, the app from the app store, It seem to crash a lot when logged in, I wonder if its related to the instance Im logged in, currently using lemmy.world.
Shouldn’t be. Many of us, myself included are using lemmy.world and liftoff as a daily driver.
Strange, been trying out a lot of stuff, using 0.9.18 and its just crashes for me everytime I visit the first page. I did observe that it seem to work fine if viewing directly a community when logged in, I gave up for now, I think it has something to do with the lemmy 0.18 update perhaps it will fix it self once lemmy.world gets updated to 0.18 or so.
Found out it was a lemmy.world issue. I had a lemmy.ml account tried logging in with it and that seem to fixed the problem. I guess it is related to the switch to http which happen in lemmy 0.18 while lemmy.world is still in 0.17.
Edit: While still using lemmy.world account, some observation I saw, It seem to crash only when viewing the first screen you encounter when opening the app, if you wait long enough there. If viewing directly to a community it works just fine.
