Description

## The Issue

### Steps to reproduce
1. Follow "Channels", "Publishes" or "New Publish" links in a sidebar.

alternatively

1. Open any content entry
2. Go to the channel dropdown in a comment section

### Expected behaviour
The "Channels" and "Publishes" are expected to display a list of channels.
On the second page of the "New Publish" flow the channel dropdown list is supposed to contain a list of channels. The user is supposed to be able to upload new content to their channel.
The channel dropdown list should contain a list of channels. The user is supposed to be able to select a channel and post a comment as that channel.

### Actual behaviour
In "Channels" and "Publishes" only spinner and a plus button are shown.

In the comments UI the spinner is displayed above/instead of the dropdown list. No amount of waiting helps. If the user tries to post a comment, an error message prompting to select a channel is displayed.

## System Configuration
- Device: Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro
- Android version: 11

## Anything Else
I actually have two channels, I can comment with no issues from Odysee.

The issue seems to be present for some time now, first noticed it about a week ago.

Research direction

Reproduce the channel-list and comment dropdown failures using the listed navigation paths on Android 11, then trace the channel-fetching entry point. Done means Channels, Publishes, New Publish, and the comment channel dropdown all load the user's channels and permit selection without the reported error; no file or test is named in the issue.
