@georgem7154 Is this a self hosted instance, or is this the official server? Are you using offline/anonymous mode, or log in into an account?

Root cause of the issue: when the user first create an account, the app led the user to an empty page associated with the General space. This is unexpected - AppFlowy currently assumes that the special page associated with a space does not have any content and should not be rendered, and the user shouldn't be shown the page in the first place.

The old content was written on this page, and once the user navigate away from this page (creating a new document in this case), there's no way to revisit this page.

The data has been recovered, but we still need to fix the bug, which a new user who log in for the first time landed on the wrong page.
