    Happens on one profile for me as well, I had to clear the app storage and restore the settings from a previous backup.

    Restoring from the backup file with hide_username set to false did let me in using that backup.

      Try opening a lemmy link from your web browser in Sync.

        Thanks, but I had a backup with the setting disabled so it was no issue to just reset the app.

    I was able to get around this by opening a lemmy post from my browser in Sync. Somehow that didn’t crash and from there I was able to get into settings and disable that option without having to delete my data.
