Stuck in synchronization loop (Android) (lemmy.ml)

Got a new phone (Pixel 4, DivestOS) & trying to sync my notes via Joplin Cloud. It grabbed older notes ok, but seems to be stuck in an infinite syncing loop & never gets notes from the last ~6 months...

Here's what I've done

  • Downloaded Joplin from F-Droid -> logged in to Joplin Cloud -> Added encryption master password -> synced. Result: old notes are there, new notes are not, infinite sync loop
  • Uninstalled Joplin
  • Reinstalled Joplin from F-Droid -> logged in to Joplin Cloud -> synced (older notes come in, newer notes do not) -> Added encryption master password -> synced. Nothing new arrives but I get an infinite sync loop

My notes are all present on desktop. I don't know what to do next! Advice is greatly appreciated!

Update for anyone who might be experiencing this issue:

I finally found a workaround "hacky" solution. I exported all of my notes to a backup file on desktop, sent it to my phone, put my phone in airplane mode, imported the backup, deleted all of the duplicate notes which resulted (because the phone was partway synced), turned off airplane mode, synced, then switched to desktop and synced.

In the syncing process a lot of notes were unnecessarily deleted and replaced with exact copies. So it wasn't elegant, but it got the job done. Everything seems to be working now (I think)
