Pretty sure this is to do with the Lemmy version the server is using.

Don't work lemmy.blahaj.zone - v0.18.4 lemmy.world - v0.18.5

Work midwest.social - v0.19.3 lemm.ee - v0.19.3 programming.dev - v0.19.3

There seems to have been a change in the /api/v3/site request and we're using the updated version which has a different structure to the previous API.

Not sure if we should add a fix in app or should just wait for the servers to update to the latest version of Lemmy.

That seems to be the case. If we wanted to add v0.18.x support, we'd also have to fix the post pagination since the page_cursor wasn't added till v0.19.0, and who knows what else would need to be fixed. I'd say we should just wait till the servers upgrade.

Now that lemmy.world has updated to v0.19.3, lemmy.blahaj.zone is the only major lemmy instance still on v0.18.x. I'm going to close this as there's no point in trying to support one extra instance that will hopefully update soon.
