I really loved sync for reddit, but development on the app is pretty inconsistent and there’s currently some major bugs/unsupported features. For example I can’t currently view comments on posts from SJW.
Apparently it’s an issue with newer versions of the Lemmy software. I can see posts from SJW and the number of comments, but if I click through on them I can’t see any of the comments. It’s been reported on the discord but no updates. There’s also other stuff like the fact that sync can’t deal with showing separate upvotes and downvotes, so you have to just show score. Lots of little random glitches from differences between reddit and Lemmy.
The author of sync basically goes completely off the grid for long periods of time (presumably due to irl priorities) and doesn’t work on sync during these periods. It’s always been a thing with sync. But Lemmy changes more frequently than reddit so the bugs can be more frustrating. I’m considering changing apps, honestly, because not being able to see comments on my home instance is driving me crazy. But I do really like sync’s interface.
Yeah the consistent interface has been easy to keep using. I tried a couple others but nothing really felt right. Probably going to be worth checking out new options at some point, just haven’t had enough issues with sync to really try

Hmm I don’t have any issues like that, moved over on the initial sync for Reddit closing

What is SJW? I love Sync for Lemmy.
