The app was updated last week and that seems to have fixed the issues for me at least. It's pretty bleeding edge so makes sense that there's some teething. I'm just happy that there's some interest in the non Lemmy side of things over here in the threadiverse.
Thanks Jerry for your assistance last month!
Pixelfed's dansup is working on a federated short video platform called loops. It will be unfortunate if they end up with a naming overlap, especially if meta decides to be all aggressive with trademarks, even though this other project was announced months ago. I don't think dansup has a crack team of lawyers ready at his fingertips.
