PSA: Sync for Lemmy users: please do not create reports about PMs (lemmy.ml)

The latest version of Sync for Lemmy (released March 2024) has a bug where attempts to report Private Messages create reports for random comments instead - it creates a report for whatever comment has the same database ID as the private message you're trying to report (which on most instances will be a very old comment, since there are many more comments than private messages).

So: if you're using Sync for Lemmy, unless/until there is a new release of it, please refrain from reporting PMs while using it, to avoid filling instance admins' report queues with spurious reports.

There has been a bit of PM spam lately; please do report PM spam using other clients, so that admins can ban those accounts asap.

If you're interested in trying other Lemmy apps which hopefully get updates more frequently, there is a list of them here: https://join-lemmy.org/apps/

I remember them disappearing for long periods during the reddit days. Was it ever a full year between updates though? I don't pretend to know ljdawson, but they've got a goose laying golden eggs here and they're keeping it locked in the basement.

I love Sync but I'm thinking about switching.

I've spent 50/50 on Voyager now. But my muscle memory still opens Sync by default. It's tough to break what's probably 10 year old habit.
