This may sound stupid but believe me when I do `users.postValue(repository.getUsers(20))`, the getUsers function executes but the value isn't posted but when I do `list = repository.getUsers(20)` and then do `users.postValue(list)` it works totally fine. What's the deal here?

The data is being loaded correctly in both cases but it's not being posted to `users` livedata in the first case. Also, I'm using `viewModelScope.launch` , if it matters

It seems like `repository.getUsers()` should just return a `LiveData`?

Yeah it could but I'm trynna figure out why this is happening

Anyways I don't like to keep `LiveData` in my repository so I'm using the `liveData` builder now

You're probably just better off having it return a `Flow` the entire way up, then use `asLiveData()` to convert it over in your ViewModel

Yeah I guess I'll use a flow when I add network state. Don't even need LiveData since I'm using jetpack compose so I'll just observe the flow as state
