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 switched to Summit for Lemmy it’s honestly better in every way imo

      I’ve been trying out Voyager for a little while and it seemed pretty good overall, but I found a few small things with the UX that made it annoying.

      I downloaded Summit after this comment and it really is almost exactly what I needed. Thanks!

      I do wish you could customize the colors, though. The few presets just don’t really fit my tastes.

        I agree, Summit has ~99% of what i’d want in a Lemmy client (including a responsive dev). Reach out to the dev and they’ll get back to you lickety-split.

            Summit deserves more love, for me it was the logical replacement/successor of Sync for Lemmy, and I have tried all the apps, of 99% of them at least.
