Changes

Thanks so much for all these important updates!

Basically the only feature I need now is the ability to upload images (but it also doesn't seem to work in Voyager or Boost, so not sure if that's something the Sync developer needs to fix or not)

From the Lemm.ee sidebar of features:

  • Image uploads are disabled, please use external image hosting

So, there's yer problem...

Edit: autocorrect did a thing.
Edit 2: here's the why

Thank you so much for making this comment. I was browsing this community in my browser hoping for a crash fix. I happened to open your link and chose open with "sync link handler" and it actually opened without crashing and from there I was able to get into my settings via the FAB and disable the hide username setting!

Oh, good! At least there's some way around the problem ^(which hopefully won't be much of a problem for long)
