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.

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.
Can you explain more about this Voyager comments issue you are experiencing? Voyager should not be hiding any comments.
When browsing comments on Lemmy, I would see what looked to be top-level comments that were clearly replies to another comment, but the comment it was responding to wouldn’t be displayed. After this kept happening, I decided to try viewing the thread through another app (i may have been using an account from another lemmy instance, which I’m guessing may be pertinent) and then I would be able to see the actual top-level comment that was being responded to.
Ahh, yeah different instances will do it, especially if it was Lemmy v0.18 vs 0.19.
Regardless I’ll keep an eye out. Thanks for the write-up!
Liftoff is awesome, but it’s not compatible with 0.19 so any post from instance with latest update will not load. I switch to Boost and while it has problem, it’s awesome too.
Well that’s a fun way to find out my client is borked :)
Liftoff’s main dev is busy with real life right now so development is on hold. Other options are quite good, it’s mostly up to personal preference
Jerboa too.
Hey, it’s you again!
More seriously, they just mentioned above they were not happy with Jerboa, which is why I didn’t mention it
I didn’t notice that but I never had any issue with Jerboa.
Now, I also remembered you.
