Bug: Certain local timelines cannot be added #2105

Environment:

OS: 17.5.1
IceCubesApp version: 1.10.42

Description

I can not add https://genserver.social/ to my local timelines. The app just hangs (?) and pressing the „Add“ button does nothing.

Related Issues

There are related issues regarding local timelines but none about failing to add one.

Genserver.social is not a valid server for IceCubes App because it does not provide a "short-description", which is required by the App. However, IceCubes App does not inform you of this missing validation, leading to a poor user experience. I'll create a pull request that generates an error message in this scenario. While this does not solve the underlying problem, it clarifies that the instance is not valid.

@Taufi Thanks for the clarification!

I will try to contact the server admin.
