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

Hol'up, I thought F-Droid v Obtainium was merely preference. No? 😅

They are preference, yes, but F-Droid (for me) usually auto-updates more reliably than Obtainium. I know a lot of people love Obtainium too, and both are awesome!

I've been testing out both, and F-Droid seems to error out more often —though, I've yet to dig into why, exactly, so 🤷🏼‍♂️
