So to give specfics... I created a Life Cleric, and at level 4 selected Magic Initiate (Druid). For my cantrips, I chose Guidance (also a Cleric spell, but wanted it) and Shape Water. For the level 1 spell, I choose Goodberry. Now because Guidance is also a Cleric spell, it shows up on my "Spells Known" tab, breaking it. I now know 8/7 spells, as well as when I test levelling up again, I don't get any new slots. Because it counts Guidance as a known spell, it just says I have 8/8 now and I cannot learn a new spell. Is this broken? Is there a way to fix this? Am I missing something...? Because I really want to take this feat with these spells, but I don't want it to break my character sheet.
I have tried to replicate your character. It is working fine to me. The spells from Magic Initiate do not count against the number of spells I can prepare from the spellcasting feature of the cleric.
Post here the link to your character sheet, if you are still having this problem.
But on mine, it counts Goodberry. Says I have 8/7 spells learned. So when I level up AGAIN, Goodberry is using up a slow and therefore I don't gain a slot. It just assumed I have 8/8 and I cannot add anything new.

As far as I can see, it is working fine.
You have 4 cantrips. Produce Flame and Shape Water (the ones you selected for the Magic Initiate feat) are not counting against this number.
You have 7 spells prepared, not counting the domain spells. Goodberry is not counting against this number.
But on mine, it counts Goodberry. Says I have 8/7 spells learned. So when I level up AGAIN, Goodberry is using up a slow and therefore I don't gain a slot. It just assumed I have 8/8 and I cannot add anything new.
Weird, this is not what I see on your sheet. Now, you are level 5 with 7/8 spells prepared. Goodberry is not being counted.
Try to refresh the page, if you still have this problem, I will ask the devs.
