  • Is there a possibility that it’s an issue with the desktop Firefox? Maybe it’s sending “garbage” to Sync due to profile corruption, etc. The passwords in your desktop Firefox work fine? Maybe try clearing its cache, if you haven’t already, or go nuclear by creating a new profile, then set it up as you want, and adding your passwords, then using that new profile to see if you can sync your passwords, etc. Sorry, but other than that drastic action, I’m out of ideas.

    One other thing, do your browser history and bookmarks sync?


  • Ouch, that’s not good.

    Have you tried force stopping and deleting the cache in Firefox for Android? Maybe you might need to clear its data and reinstall Firefox for Android again, which might force Sync to work. It’s possible your profile is corrupted. You might well lose some settings if Sync doesn’t repopulate, but it seems that you’ve already lost stuff due to Sync not working.




  • Not that you should have to do this, but you could join another instance and create your community on that (no reason why you can’t be in more than one instance). Sure, there’ll be two communities in Lemmy about the subject that you want to participate in, but seeing that the other community is dormant, your active community will gain the gravity.

    Again, this isn’t ideal, but is a way around it for now. However, something should be done to prevent this kind of squatting, so you don’t have to do this to circumnavigate the problem.

    Edit: Seems that I’m parroting what @what_is_a_name said. I’m always late to the party. ;-)
