Banner at bottom won't disappear?

Whenever I vote on a post, that is outside of a community I'm logged into (lemmy.world in this case), this banner appears and won't go away. It covers up all the useful tabs at the bottom. Only way to get it to disappear is to restart the app. Anyone else got a similar issue? Also, I thought I would still be able to interact with other communities with just one account. At least I'm still able to vote on the same posts on jerboa. Am I misunderstanding how that works?

Edit: just realized that it also only shows communities I'm following within whatever instance I'm logged in at. I'm following the Lego communities on lemmy.ml and lemmy.world, but the lemmy.ml community doesn't appear on my following list. When I search up the lemmy.ml community it says I'm not following it, but when I try to follow it the same banner appears.

2nd edit: seems both these issues were fixed in the latest update! This app is just getting better and better by the day.
