Unable to sign in

I've been getting this error since public release. I've tried reinstalling the app a few times, but it persists. Tried attaching a screenshot, but I get the error: `SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data` So here is an [imgur](https://imgur.com/a/lWJqsUq) instead

Links to other instances always say I'm logged out (which, technically, I am) that makes the link useless. For example, I am logged in at my home instance of [https://midwest.social](https://midwest.social) If I click a link to go to [https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy_support](https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy_support) it takes me to that community, but I am not logged in (to lemmy.ml) so I am unable to meaningfully interact with it. I have to manually edit each lemmy URL that I go to in the URL bar in order for me to go to that community with my lemmy account. So I need to manually change [https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy_support](https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy_support) into [https://midwest.social/c/lemmy_support@lemmy.ml](https://midwest.social/c/lemmy_support@lemmy.ml) and I have to do this each time I click a link to another instance if I want to post there. I've been a system administrator for 20 years, and this took me a few minutes to figure out. "Casual" users are just going to be SOL since they aren't going to be analyzing editing URLs to make them work. I feel like the only want to fix this is to have a browser addon intercept any lemmy URLs and modify them to work based on your home instance. Am I doing something wrong, or is this just how it is?
