Yeah reddit sync is slowly dying… many links give me a 404 error
Hopefully at some point they will break completely, and people will be so annoyed by the official app that they’ll start looking for alternatives.
I get errors and outages every other day on lemmy. This is reality sad.
That’s because world and ml are hella unstable. Try another instance.
Yeah but lemmy.world is at least low-key backed by an EU company who seems to actually have the capacity to deal with privacy issues. The rest of the servers that I’ve seen really are mostly just individuals or very small teams which I have zero faith in even being good actors. I’m open to suggestions though.
Discuss.tchncs.de, my main account, is very decent. Reactive update timeframes and jumping in if there is an issue.
I had similar experience with lemm.ee and sopuli.xyz, also based in Europe
Pretty sure Sopuli is Canadian run, unless their description is incorrect.
It says “run a Finn” no?
Oh wait, I just looked back at it and it doesn’t say the part about being a Canadian run Instance anymore, I could’ve sworn it said that last I checked.
Also their server IP is Finland, though since Lemmy instances are on VPS servers I guess that isn’t indicative, since they can end up being anywhere in the world.
From their sidebar “A general-purpose instance run by a Finn - everyone is welcome here!”
Maybe they are elsewhere than Finland, but that was my assumption
Sync on Android for Lemmy is also giving 404 error to me for the last 4-5 days. I have been using Jebroa instead, which is not as good in my opinion…
Use boost. It’s awesome.
Haven’t had issues yet. No big ones anyway.
Here is a lift of all the Lemmy clients: https://lemmyapps.netlify.app/
For Android, the usual recommended are Voyager, Thunder, Connect, Eternity, Raccoon (sorry if I forgot any)
I use liftoff… Are these others better? There weren’t but a couple options when I first got on lemmy…
I’m using Memmy, Voyager, and Mlem.
I started with Memmy, but then started favoring Voyager, which was said to be the closest to Apollo in functionality and design. Then i noticed that Voyager always omitted comments from a certain instance, so I’d only get one side of the conversation, so I switched to favoring Mlem, which I’m really enjoying at the moment.
Now that I’ve given it a try, I think that I would continue using Mlem even if Voyager fixed that particular issue. It has a really nice level of polish and hasn’t had any issues with crashing, unlike Liftoff or Thunder, which I’ve dropped completely.
