The Interstellar app for Piefed cannot be used to post, does anybody know why? (retrofed.com)

It looks like there are multiple post types on Piefed (link, image, poll, text, etc.), and the Interstellar client throws an error for me when I try to create a text post on it. It says that the link cannot be null, as well as the alt text (neither of which are relevant for a text post).

Has anybody experienced this issue and know how to resolve it? The app definitely supports Piefed from what I can tell, and I can do everything else (receive notifications, read posts, comment, updoot, join and leave communities, etc.)

If it helps, I'm running the Android client installed via F-Droid

I was able to replicate your problem. I was able to make a post with other apps successfully.

Based on the error message, either Interstellar is sending an incorrect post type, or piefed is doing some schema checking beyond the officially documented api. I won't be able to look at it until tomorrow probably, so perhaps @rimu@piefed.social or @jwr1@kbin.earth will be able to look into it sooner.

Interstellar was passing some parameters as null. Used to work but I guess the schema checking has been made stricter. I made a PR here
