@pixelfed
Thanks for getting back to me. I'm on the latest version. The screenshots I posted were from the same v.

I sideloaded the APK & updated the existing install. I'll try a clean install later when I have some time (I have to redownload/signature-check again,
I'd rather not rush that). Maybe that'll do the trick? I'll share the results then. I'm just glad to hear it isn't just me with this issue.

While all of this sounds a bit negative, I just want to reiterate: I love Pixelfed!
