As it stands right now, it looks like we have to just judge based off of how old posts are to see if we can still interact with a community.

Are you the creator of Tesseract? I love it except it doesn’t save my settings or my favorites and multi-communities. I’m not sure why and I’ve checked in the last 2 weeks. It’s been doing it a long time.
Yep.
It should save/persist the favorites to your browser’s local storage. If you’re using a browser that clears site data on close or something, then they’ll reset. But it also wouldn’t persist your profile and you’d have to log in every time, so…🤔 It doesn’t, however, save any settings beyond your device. I’m working on a way to securely save those to whatever Tesseract server you use but don’t have it implemented yet.
This version (1.4.42) also changes where and how the favorites, community groups, and filters are stored in addition to not storing useless data like the community sidebar info, etc. They’re also no longer stored inside your profile in a single local storage object. Since these save to the browser’s local storage, there’s a hard 5 MB limit per object (everything gets written to a JSON string), so maybe your profile exceeded that somehow? If so, there should be browser console logs to that effect. Regardless, this version splits those all up into separate storage objects to address that problem.
Not sure what you mean by multi-communities, though. There was a feature to create custom feeds (which is kind-of similar to multi-community) but I took that out a long time ago because API changes in 0.19.3+ made it untenable. I think that was removed in 1.4.40 or thereabouts, so if you’re on a version older than that, then maybe that feature is still present. That feature was pretty broken for a long time which is why I finally removed it and put it out of its misery.
Thank you for explaining that. I clear the cache quite often. I haven’t tried to save the favorites in a bit because I thought it was tied to the settings. Changing the settings each time isn’t a big deal, but saving favs kind of is. I’ll give it another try since it’s pretty great.
