Lost all my settings with the new update (lemmy.sdf.org)

Hello. I got the new update today and when I opened the app it asked me to add an account. Weird… I did and then I realized it had wiped all my settings. Lost all filters, appearance configuration, everything.

I don’t know if they can be recovered but I want at least to warn other users to make a note of their settings before updating.

This is Memmy 1.0 on iOS.

I think the worst loss is that nothing marks as read anymore. I’m constantly clicking on posts again. It’s so annoying.

Same, had to redo everything.

I also get errors where is like “oops, error! Report it?” And there’s no way to go back other than force quitting the app. lol.

The updates are great. But a ton of issues it seems

Same. I wasn’t paying attention, and just assumed an update would migrate everything, but I found out I wasn’t even sure what Lemmy instance and password I was using (rookie mistake, but App Store updates don’t usually wipe everything). Happy to say after some tense minutes I figured it out, and reported the “bug.”

I know this doesn’t help, but on TestFlight the dev said that he rewrote the app from the ground up to make it better. It’s frustrating to lose everything, but in the end the app is going to be faster, smoother, and have more features. Unfortunately right now, it’s like starting over.

I saw that about the re-write and assumed it was the cause, but it would have been nice to be told about it before it happened…

Yeah, I get it, it’s frustrating, but I’m glad it’s still being developed and not abandoned. I hope it’s a much better app in the long run.

Worse - I reloaded all my info (3 accounts and some filters) and then after a day it crashed. When I reopened the app…all the logins gone again and I had to start from scratch. (IOS 17).
