Revanced Reddit clients getting broken as Reddit changed the link format

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.

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...
- 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...
  
  Jerboa too.
- I would look into this. I use Sync for Lemmy and haven't been running into any 404 errors.
  
  Yeah, sorry, actually 401 errors

- Use boost. It's awesome.
  
  Haven't had issues yet. No big ones anyway.
- Very odd, it's been working fine for me, aside from embedded videos
- I've been using Connect for Fediverse stuff and I love it.
I get errors and outages every other day on lemmy. This is reality sad.
- 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.
  
  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).
- That's because world and ml are hella unstable. Try another instance.
