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.

    Have you considered trying another instance? Lemmy.world can be a bit unstable from time to time

      Being one of the biggest instances can definitely have some drawbacks. Sh.itjust.works has been pretty stable for me most of the time.

        Any instance from the top 20 is good, except those two indeed

            Sorry, I think I got confused between you and another comment. The 2 instances I was referring to where lemmy.world and lemmy.ml (as Lemmy devs didn’t want lemmy.ml to be the flagship 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.

      I’m in the minority here but I legitimately would rather have my data in an instance where they have corporate backing (even if it’s still tied to volunteerism).

        I just use Lemmy to comment fluff, so I don’t need a privacy hardened instance.

        Unless you’re talking about the potential for smaller instances to spread malware or something?

          Nah more concerned with small instances grabbing information and doxing folks. That type of crap. This account not so much, my porn account maybe lol…
