It's due to lemmy.sdf.org upgrading to Lemmy v0.19.
For what it's worth, I use Voyager and it works great still. I did have to log out and back in, but after that it's been working fine

Does this mean that Sync won't work until lemmy.sdf.org changes to a different version due to there being a bug in v0.19 or does Sync need to be updated to be compatible with the current version of Lemmy?
v0.19 isn't stable yet and has a difference in api when I'm not mistaken, so a downgrade to 0.18.5 would be the best option
But basically yes, either the apps upgrade or the instances downgrades, and the downgrade is the most efficient version as 0.19 isn't stable and the other instances aren't on that now.
Thanks for the explanation.
So if you wanna keep using lemmy.sdf.org, you'll want to use a different app till Sync updates with 0.19 compatibility
Confirmed Voyager is working for me on Android.
Or you can use a alt on another instance in the meantime
Yeah, for sure. Those are the options
I just created an account on lemmy.world, because I missed the interface of Sync. I didn't backup my Sync settings, so I couldn't import my communities. So as I'm manually adding all of my communities to lemmy.world, lemmy.world goes down. Makes me appreciate lemmy.sdf.org even more.
Lemmy world is a utter shitshow, please don't use that instance. Use Sh.itjust.works or lemmy.ee or ani.social
They are all pretty stable and don't have assholes as admins, at least from my experience.
We're now in the second week of an incompatible pre release version on SDF. Other instances have also reported federation problems with this instance. I haven't seen any sort of statement here about the situation or action to fix it. People in glass houses etc...
I came to Lemmy largely because of the Reddit API switch off and that's effectively what this instance has done...
Yes but not on purpose, i don't know if a downgrade is technically possible without causing many problems. The federation problem was before the upgrade, maybe SDF upgraded to fix that and now its just broken again...
I'm regretting going with them as an alternate instance already. I'll check out Sh.itjust.works. There are some communities on Sh.itjust.works that I've enjoyed. Thanks.
Stability (in terms of instance not going down often due to technical issues) and an instance that doesn't block other instances are my two highest priorities. If I don't want to see particular communities, I'd rather block them myself. Personally, I usually can't stand memes, so having my everything feed saturated with memes annoys me.
I personally just blocked Lemmy.world and lemmy.ml wich got rid of most shit i don't want to see, its just low quality spam.
Interesting approach. Might be worth experimenting with.
Also confirmed Thunder v0.2.5-4 is working.
Just installed Voyager. Thanks!
Eternity seems to be working. Right when the switch happened I had a few problems, but cleared the app data and logged back in and it went back to working like normal.
I can't log in with Sync or Jerboa. Sync says "Error logging in", and Jerboa just crashes. Jerboa had been throwing "failed to verify jwt token" pretty consistently.
I can't log in to sdf with either Jerboa or Connect.
I'm having the same issue with Boost at the minute
You might be running into this issue:

I couldn't login on web and got errors in Memmy For Lemmy on iOS. Clearing cache and cookies on web fixed it. The error I got on web was: "Error: auth_cookie_insecure"
