No ads, No tracking and Opensource

I just leave you with my favorite quote of Ljdawson, made during the reddit api war:
"I don't know. I don't track shit."
He has crashlytics. That's about it.
Tbh, I don't care for open or closed source, I don't even care for free or payed. (19 bucks per year.. That's like what, a coffee and a donut at a Starbuck?)
Stuff must just work and to be honest... All available clients all work sort of.
This one does this good but sucks at multi instances. That one screws up gifs from that and this site. Made an error typing your user name!/password during setup? Tough shit. You can't edit it so redo from start, remove it and type well this time.
Sync just seems to work.
That's not to shit on anyone hard work: I can't do it, I can't make them, I'm glad these clients exist. I don't expect free tools to be perfect.
But I'm also superglad Sync for lemmy is a thing. And I will pay for it when it's out of beta.
- Sync not only works. It's the smoothest App I have on my phone. The animations and transitions are just beautiful, well timed and do not stutter even a tiny bit. I wish all android apps were like Sync. I'll gladly pay whatever he charges.
- Sync just seems to work.
  And that is why I've used it for all these years. There are no weird quirks, it just does exactly what I need it to do.
- Yeah I assumed the ad tracking was mostly Google's own doing, or whatever ad provider that hes using for injected ads.
- Sync just seems to work.
  Didn't I read the current version does not allow you to post? I feel its pretty weird to release an app in that state and still keep ads in it.
  But if you are happy paying and using that, more power to you! Meanwhile I save that money and use one of the many open source clients that actually work.
  
  I'm posting from it right now. The ads don't seem to work through. I'm not blocking any but I've not seen one yet.
- Sync is fantastic, and I've used it for years. But I'll be sticking with Thunder. Its UI is close, and I'm able to contribute the things I want to change.
- You do you, but for me personally, the only honest software in existence is software willing to disclose it's source code.

Sync is fucking fantastic, just how I remember. I don't mind at all paying for a great app by a talented dev.
The pro version is supposed to be out later, and will just be a one-time payment unlike ultra's subscription
- The lifetime purchase to remove ads is up. It's a bit pricey but I can understand why, Lemmy has a smaller userbase. Totally worth it.
  
  I wonder if it was because of the backlash from being subscription only? I was surprised by how many angry posts there were. I gotta admit even I was disappointed. I don't mind paying for a pro version. But a subscriptions a bit of an ask, as I don't need the features offered by it, but I do like sync and Lawrence is a good guy.
- Same here. The latest update has the "remove ads" option added for a one time 12.99 fee.
  
  15€ here.
  
  Not seeing it, I just see an Ultra subscription, where is the one time no ad option?
  
  20 bucks here
- It's available as an IAP for $19.99 now
- Same, I'm paying for the ultra subscription. But I understand if someone is using another app, Connect is pretty good. I'm just an old dog
- Its not about the money but about the software freedom and source transparency

I say this as someone who is probably one of the biggest supporters of software-freedom around here, but bullying or shaming people for preferring non-free apps does nothing but incite resentment towards the movement. I value the four freedoms because I think I deserve control of my computing, not because I think it's my place to dictate what others should value.
- The community is one of the worst aspects when working with/on opensource software.
  There are so many people with Open Source rabies...
  Combine that with all those people who don't understand the difference between software developed by people who donate their spare time to work on FOSS software and for-profit software developed by big corporations. As a FOSS dev you get so many entitled assholes who think downloading a free app gives them the right to threaten/abuse the devs.
  And then there are the fanboys who attack everyone who talks about downsides of their favourite product.
  All in all, the hostile community makes FOSS development very not fun.
  
  This is what gets me. I look into software for my company. Someone put up a open source alternative. I expressed my concerns with a small open source project and they acted like i murdered his first born. Well past the point of unprofessional and into the HR realm.
  I'm not against open source by any means but there is a place for everything. This just was not the place for this specific product with only a handful of devs and no support. If a system goes down we need to have someone we can call.
  
  In about 10 mins of pooping time i've seen so much fanboyism as you've described. More than ive ever seen prior.
  
  Upvoted from Sync [̲̅$̲̅(̲̅ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°̲̅)̲̅$̲̅]
  
  I just installed the new sync and I'm given the impression that everyone here is 5'7 and uses gentoo so they have to compensate
- I voiced my opinion on one of the sync announcement posts and it was received quite controversially.
  We all get stuck in our own camps and become quote tribal and I feel like all around it's difficult to not take what is being said as some kind of attack.
  
  Yeah. How about just everybody uses what they fucking want and leave each other alone? You know, like it should be in real life. That would be nice.
  
  I think that's nuts. I use sync and I don't care what you use. You can also dislike Sync all you want, I will never feel attacked by that.
- I don't get why instead of making posts about "Don't use Sync!" no one is saying "Feel free to use and pay for whatever you like! But as a friendly reminder please note that you should also consider helping your instance owners or the core Lemmy team as well."
  There's nothing wrong at all with paying for software, and even some will be fine with ads. It has literally nothing to do with anyone else but that person. Let them do them.
  Like I say though, I think the thing that should be being said is that the app is not self contained and that these people should seriously consider helping out the other aspects as well if they can. But hey, no, let's just belittle them and push them away instead of welcoming them. I can almost guarantee that the availability of Sync will bring more users to Lemmy that never would have been here otherwise.
- I don't think the meme is bullying or shaming people using sync...right? He said he likes infinity better even though sync is awesome because its libre and open source

I used Sync for almost the full 11 years on Reddit and will gladly support the dev on Lemmy.
- Same. Sync was the only way I accessed Reddit since 2012.
  
  You understand the feeling I have today using it. Feels so good.

I don't understand the bitching about it, we users were asking for this, it is the good thing about Lemmy/Fediverse, you have tons of options, and probably will have more, heck even the PWA are awesome, no need to download anything at all.
- People like to bitch
- Remind me of that meme where the person is complaining about the thing, gets the thing and then has the frowny face.
- You have to accept to being tracked by Google, having an advertising id, all the data Firebase collects. Their ToS is large.
  Users were asking for it, that's true. I guess users don't really care about being tracked, allowing google into their phone and indirectly supporting them controlling the web, thus enabling them to do things like manifest v3 or the web integrity API.
  Ads? understandable, the dev has bills to pay. Not open source? Purists may hate it, but not the end of the world. Tracking? Google? No thanks, the beautiful design is not worth it.
  
  Many of us were sync users who came over because of the api changes. Don't care about tracking.
  
  One time payment is there. Someone confirmed that there is no connection to Google after paying the one time payment.
  
  I will admit I never knew any of this

Sync is a perfectly fine app for me. I tried all other apps and nowhere near to sync. I don't even have ads on the free version as I am using dns ad blocker. The moment one time payment for removing ads is out(it is coming), I will buy it. Or I will donate to dev in some other way as I am not a fan of subscriptions.
- I have the option to remove ads in Sync right now. =)
  
  With subscription
  Edit: nevermind, the one time purchase is up now!
- they?
  he.
  there is 1 dev.
  
  I used sync for reddit for so many years and paid $2... I just paid the ad removal price on the new app right away. Even if the app ends up sucking, i want to support the dev for all the previous work
  I will definitely consider switching to FOSS option though
- There's just nothing that comes even close to Sync for me. Happy to support the developer.
- I do not have ads either....but no idea why I do not have an ad blocker, they just appear.empty for some reason.
  
  Yeah they are empty on my phone too, and I've never used any DNS-adblocking on my home network. I suspect it might be because whatever ad system Sync uses currently just doesn't have any ads for my country, but I don't actually know.
- I've tried different reddit third party apps for months at a time, and I've got to say, Sync is probably the best app I have used in terms of designs and fluidity.
- Same I haven't seen a single ad. I'll probably pay to removed them anyways but I want to evaluate the competition first
- What adblocker are you using?
  
  I am using a private dns ad blocker. android phones have the option to change the dns server, I changed it to dns.adguard.com
  
  Best option on Android: Netguard, the F-Droid-version. The Google Play Store version has no adblocking capability.

Yeah, this shit is getting old really quickly.
What client I use doesn't affect your experience. I and lots of others are reddit refugees and I used sync for years. I'm ecstatic to have the interface back.
Bullshit gatekeeping and bickering over ideological purity doesn't help anyone. At the end of the day, lemmy is confusing for someone accustomed to reddit. There is a learning curve. Most of us just want to exchange info and converse. I don't give a fuck to learn about FOSS and all that other bullshit any more than any of you want to learn the specialized minutiae I have to sift through at my day job.
Shut the fuck up already. This sort of discourse lands like a bunch of shitty kids meeting at a half empty bar all criticizing how one another got there
- Agreed. Nobody gave a fuck the app used on Reddit, and there's no reason to care now. You do you
  
  Except for Reddit themselves... They certainly seemed to care...
- nailed it
- You are commenting on a meme that says the same thing you just did in a slightly different and more concise way, though. All I see in the comments is people saying why they prefer one app over another. I don't really see anybody bashing people for picking a a specific app.
  I think you are overreacting a bit.
  If you do see people being bullied for picking one app over another, then I apologize. I just mostly see people criticizing Sync for not being FOSS, or see people criticizing the FOSS stuff for not being user friendly. I don't really see a problem with people criticizing software, as long as it isn't an attack on the users of said software.
  I do agree that there are too many damn posts about this, but I don't really care about it that much. Maybe others do.
  
  I mean. If we're going to ride that analogy it sounds like sync is an automatic transmission while FOSS is manual.
  I just want to get where I want to go. Who cares how it happens? It's not like sync is imessage and fucks things up for other users
  My past was a reaction to a LOT of vitriolic anti-sync posts and comments. They're all over and they're baffling
  
  I do see a lot of people caring a lot about whether you are using sync or not.
- Infinity was a reddit app first, too.

I just installed Sync after browsing with Jerboa for the past month. Sync has such a clean, smooth look that if it functions even remotely consistently it'll be my new replacement.
- I'm soooo happy to be done with Jerboa... Haven't uninstalled it yet but it's such a buggy piece of crap compared to Sync so it's only a matter of time til I do.
- Check out all the UI options. The customization is really awesome, even if it's a little confusing at times. The search box in options helps.
- I lasted half a day with Jerboa, it really didn't work for me. Connect has kept me happy since though.
  
  Just tried Sync. It's like a better Connect.

- what's the point of judging? Sync is the only app so far that has full, thoughtful support for foldable phones and the dev genuinely has been putting in a lot of work into it. I bought the No Ads IAP and I'm perfectly happy with it, but there are so many good options now for those that want something completely free.
  
  Because the open source community has been full of a bunch of people who built whole personalities on shitting on anything not FOSS. And even though they now have an opportunity to bring a lot more people into the community than before they'd rather play these stupid arrogant superiority games instead of just letting people enjoy things how they want to enjoy them.
  
  Right? No need for the smugposting
- do you really have a hard time understanding how different people have different preferences and how familiarity works or do you just like being smug?
  as for "trackers" and ads you will find that unless they are intrusive about 99% of the population doesn't give a fuck, even on a fairly niche site like lemmy the majority won't give a fuck.
- I'm just used to it, and no other client accommodates my workflow (liftoff is very close but has some annoying issues, quirks and differences),
  It's quality software with great design and a lot of customization options.
- I love FOSS but I got pretty used to the official reddit app, and Sync is the only app that feels like if the reddit app wasn't buggy and laggy. The paid aspect doesn't bother me because I would have donated to whatever app I use anyway, at $5/mo the $20 one time ad removal option makes sense if I use it for more than 4 months so it's worth it to me.

Imagine Apollo for Lemmy 😮‍💨
- i'm using memmy (iOs) ! works very good, and it feels nostalgic since they tried their best to... be inspired by apollo 😄
  
  They have added the blue jump button. It makes it hard to upvote comments at the bottom, but love that it is there.
  
  I love Memmy for Lemmy!
  
  My gf installed that one yesterday, but I think it does not have an option to mark as read posts while you scroll, hide read posts?
  I couldn't even see if the read posts were dimmed.
- That's Voyager.
  
  That's Voyager.
  Great... Now I get to look forward to a trip back from the delta quadrant.
  
  Which is also coming for Android!
  
  Yeah no, Apollo was native, Vogager isn't
  
  except it's not, because Voyager is React and comes with all the baggage that using React brings.
  Native clients all the way.
- Hopefully the dev changes his mind about not creating an app for lemmy
- Have you heard of wefwef? It’s basically Apollo for Lemmy.
  Link to a Reddit post about it, quickest I could find in short order at work:
  https://www.reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comments/14lr2n4/wefwef_is_an_apollo_like_web_app_for_lemmy/
  
  It's called Voyager now.
  
  Seriously good by any measure, and fantastic for a webapp. Smoother and more native-feeling than a lot of actual native apps.
  
  Yes and big fan as well even hosted it on my instance
- Yeah, it's called Voyager, and it doesn't even have the Pixel Pals or pop-ups that ruined Apollo!

Fun fact, me and Clarkson are both from Donny:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doncaster
- I used sync for reddit for years, I had no ads in the free version and the pro version. I've tried a half dozen apps for Lemmy since my Reddexit. Sync for Lemmy is far and away the best. I really missed its design. I was happy to toss $20 to you for no ads on Sync for Lemmy. Thanks for all the hard work.
- I drove through it once, looked rough as shit.
  
  Good job you didn't stop
- Nice, I have family in Nottinghamshire.
  Also, is your .ml or .world your main instance? The .world seems to have the biggest audience
  
  .world is

Y'all gotta stop shitting on non-FOSS Lemmy apps.
Lemmy is Lemmy, let people access the platform how they want to. It doesn't affect you. Don't use Sync if you don't want to.

How about instead we respect everyone's decisions and preferences? Free as in freedom, is that not what the Open Source community is about?
- That's how I've always read this meme format. It literally says the non-preferred option is still brilliant.
- Sure, but when people are excited about something, they're going to trash-talk. It's healthy to have the freedom of debate these choices.
- Anyone can choose to install whatever software they choose on their device, but the "free" in free software specifically refers to the freedom to read and modify the source code.
  Under the philosophy of the FOSS movement, all proprietary software are by definition unethical.
  Since Lemmy and the larger fediverse is the choice for many free software advocates, it's natural that you see this kind of backlash when fundamentally unethical software to interact with it is released.
- Does this meme make you feel disrespected? Why?

I have always preferred Infinity when I was using Reddit. But right now Infinity for Lemmy seems to be not in a usable state. I have been using Thunder For Lemmy as of recently, not sure if I will switch from it to Infinity for Lemmy once its in a more usable state.
Edit: I can't even use Sync for Lemmy as on the Play Store it says its unavailable on my device. I have a Samsung Galaxy s23 Ultra. One would think that it would be available considering its pretty much this years flagship of the largest Android brand.
Edit 2: It seems to not be because of the device itself @IncogCyberspaceUser@lemmy.world seems to have been able to download it on their s23 Ultra.
Edit 3: It was because of Age Verification. I can now download it fine.
- It is very much in alpha stage now,but usable for me.
  I also face the same issue with play store, I ended up using Aurora store(fdroid) to download the app.
- I started using Infinity today and it seems to be working great for everything that I need it for.
  
  The website I saw said it didn't support creating posts. Maybe It was wrong?
- Strange, I have a Galaxy S23 Ultra and I had no issues installing it.
  
  Hmm. Then I am not sure. @A10@kerala.party seems to also be facing the same problems as me. I don't think its a locality issue as I am in the US, unless for whatever reason that is the issue.
- was using Thunder the past couple of weeks, because I couldn"t get warm with Jerboa, but once I saw Infinity comming out, I immediately downloaded it and haven't had problems since

Why can't I just use the service that has a design I like?
I wouldn't have used reddit if it wasn't for sync and that same logic applies to lemmy. Adoption is critical for lemmy to succeed so please tone it down a bit, unless having the same 2 dozen people in your community was your personal appealing feature of lemmy.
- Yep. Incentives align differently for different people, which is what makes a healthy market work.
- You can
  Don't worry, this type of "drama" is only serving to make the community larger in the long run.

Lemmy is fun is what I want
- Give me Relay for Lemmy lol.
  
  I'm a big Boost guy myself. Pretty excited for when it is done!

Upvoted on infinity

Where's the love for Connect? Best app hands down!
- I like connect too, so far it is the only that property display gif avatars and gif in comments
  
  I like the mark as read on scroll! Makes me miss Joey a lot less!
  
  I mean, Sync does show gifs in comments properly.
  
  Takeoff does it too
- Is connect open source?
  
  No, but iirc the dev said he might go open source if he cleans up the code enough

Liftoff is where its at
- Amen.

You guys are using apps?
-posted from my browser
- Posted from my browser which is technically an app...
  
  I like how the Fediverse doesn't pull that bullshit. I've been on the internet since the days of dialup and the "appification" of websites is such obvious garbage. Like sure, I want to run a program coded by McDonalds on my pocket computer, that sounds legit.

Speak for yourself, but Infinity really isn't as well made as Sync. I'd rather pay one time for a quality experience and support the developer. Also, no ads in the paid version.

So fucking ecstatic to have seen that Sync for Lemmy came out today personally.
Paid for Ultra immediately without a second thought even if the app is early days I know it's a worthwhile investment to keep ljdawson paid and caffeinated lol

Fuck yeah baby. Infinity ftw!
Sauce if you don't have it: https://codeberg.org/Bazsalanszky/Infinity-For-Lemmy
- Oh my fucking God, thank you! I feel like home again
- Am I blind or is there no APK? I need to get on the computer and build this?
  
  You can download an apk from the releases page.
- I hope they can get set up on f-droid or something sooner rather than later, as I don't want to have to manually install and update apks

I've been jumping around trying 4-5 clients since the Reddit Exodus and all of them had some really anything bug. Voyager is the one that in my opinion is the best one feature and stability wise. However, voyager if giving me one big headache in the form of going totally black if I swap over to fx read an email. I don't care if you're my Firefox needing things up. I'm not going to opt in even more in Google Surveillance just because Voyager is open source.
Sync for Reddit was my whole Reddit experience for the last 7-8 years. I think I tried a majority of the clients and Sync totally wiped the floor with the other clients in my opinion. Both in new features and stability.
I use Windows and several dists on a daily basis. I have an Android phone and I truly like the philosophy behind open source... With that said.... Competition is great. We'll see what Sync for Lemmy can bring to the table. If it is as good as sync for Reddit was the other clients have to shape up and it's us, the users, that will benefit.
This message was created with Sync for Lemmy.
- I'm pretty happy with Jerboa but I'm waiting for RedReader to add Lemmy support.

I bought Sync Pro for Reddit, and I'll do the same for Lemmy. Open-source can suck a butt, I'm willing to pay for a well made app
Edit: lmao the replies! To be clear, I am not talking shit on open source software, the "open source can go suck a butt" comment was in reference to taking the time to get used to a new app when I don't have to 😝 Go touch grass. Sync treated me well, I'm willing to pay the creator to have that same experience on Lemmy. That's it. Stop being defensive, go for a walk.
- Why people insulting them just for this comment? Open-source fanatics are real.
  
  Probably because of
  Open-source can suck a butt
  They then edited and said they're not taking a shit on open source software, in direct contradiction to what they said before. It shouldn't be a surprise that people didn't like it. Also, "touch grass" is a really stupid phrase since most people browse the internet on their phones and can just as easily be outside sitting in grass as anywhere else.
  
  Because there wouldn't be a Sync if it wasn't for opensource. Sync is piggybacking off of opensource.
- People that diss open source are dumbass dipshits. You should be ashamed of yourself.
  Open source software runs most of the Internet and this social media platform. It has provide more value to every one of us than any closed source retail software ever could.
- All your closed source software runs on open source libraries dipshit.
- I'm sorry to say, but you seem to be clueless in the world of software engineering. Open vs closed source does not make any software better or worse. This solely depends on the talent and will of the developers to create a good app for you. That can happen in both worlds, but just because an app is not open source doesn't make it better in any ways. Rethink it. Sync might be a nice client, but you're dependent on this one dev to always deliver a good experience and keep updating, whereas if it was open source,you could be sure someone would continue the work and help fix some issues if anything was to happen. Open source has a lot of potential. Don't let anyone fool you into thinking it's worse in any way. It's not.
  
  Theres often times I come across an open source product that beats the shit out of the closed source alternatives too

Tried Sync today, it's fancy in terms of design and customization; I can see the appeal. But I think I'll stick with Connect because it's straight forward and easy to use out of the box.
- I think for me, I've used sync for reddit since like '15. So coming to lemmy with sync... Its like coming home. I've tried connect and liftoff though, and like both.
- After using Sync for so long and having it set up just so other apps feel janky, through no fault of their own. I have it set up very information dense with amoled dark theme and colorful comment indents. I could kind of look over theme issues, but the interaction just felt off.
  Connect was what I was using, though, and I preferred it over wefwef/Voyager which had a less wasteful feeling UI to me.

Infinity was my fav for Reddit, def would love to try a Lemmy alternative
- https://codeberg.org/Bazsalanszky/Infinity-For-Lemmy/releases
  
  Ok now I see the reason for the post, why I didn't see this before?
  The only one thing that I missed from reddit was Infinity, now I feel complete.
  
  Thanks! I'll prob wait till a non-early access version releases, pretty happy with Voyager for now
  
  Apologies in advance for the dumb question, but it's not yet ready for download right? Or am I missing something?

doesn't seem like I can get it on the playstore (infinity for lemmy, I mean)
- Liftoff is pretty good!
- It's in pre release testing. You can find links in comments
- You have to side load infinity.

Is Infinity fully compatible with foldables and tablets? Sync even has tabs for open posts (like a browser) when it's opened in tablet mode
- Infinity works well on tablets, it has a split view

im on infinity for the first time rn and this is the second post i see lol
i had been using infinity for reddit for a few years before... the incident... it is absolutely the best
- I loved Infinity for reddit, too, but I'm kind of squeamish about installing pre-release code on my phone. I'll wait until it's out of beta.
  
  Wait, infinity if coming to Lemmy?

Picked up Jerboa when I made the switch to Lemmy. Now I won't be returning to Sync. No way in hell I'm paying a subscription.
- As a Jerboa user who just started using Sync, I can honestly say it's really fucking slick. Like really slick.
  
  I'm sure it is, but until the live version has single payment, I won't consider the switch. Even then, I don't use Lemmy half as much as I used Reddit, so I won't pay the same amount I paid for Reddit.
- He's said there's plans for a lifetime option in the future. So just be the same as having Sync Pro.
  Sync already feels far more polished than jerboa or connect in my opinion.
- Jerboa is useless crap in comparison. Also Sync is free if you're on with ads.
  
  Not the same kind of free. Jerboa is free w/ no strings. Which makes ads "crap by comparison"
  
  Jerboa is also open source, meaning anyone can help improve it.
- The one time pay to remove ads was released on the recent beta
- Felt the the same, but now with the one time pay to remove ads I am back using Sync
- Try Connect for lemmy or voyager. imho both opretty good, better than jeroba
  
  Connect is way better than Jerboa.
- Lmao the scrolling in Jerboa is so fucking disgusting

I am using both, Sync feels more polished for now.

Liftoff is opensource

Yeah, tried sync since that was my reddit app of choice but the ads and tracking just forced me to uninstall it. Trying thunder now and it seems pretty good
- Sync's ads can be turned off by paying a small fee.
- There's no tracking in Sync
  
  Oh, my bad. I just saw this on the play store and figured it did.

sad /kbin noises
- The API will come soon! (seriously its being worked on if you don't know lol)
  Whether we'll be using Sync when time comes is another thing lol.
- Hang in there 🤞

I love Sync's theming and looks but Infinity for Lemmy is also looking promising.

Thunder is the best one that's open-source
- No that would be Infinity for Lemmy
  https://codeberg.org/Bazsalanszky/Infinity-For-Lemmy
  
  This isn't showing up in F-Droid or the Play store. Has it not been released yet?

I like Liftoff.
It's comfy and easy to use.

Infinity won't let me log in. So far I'm really liking Sync. And I'm completely fine with a subscription at it's current price. I'm happy to support devs. 8 don't like working for free. Not sure why they should have to. And so it's either ads or subscriptions. Pick your poison.
- And so it’s either ads or subscriptions. Pick your poison.
  Please think really hard for a moment and try to consider whether there are more ways to purchase something than by subscription or ad support.
  
  There would be a lifetime one time payment option coming up.
  
  One time payments would be great, but the devs make a lot more from subscriptions. You don't see services like Netflix or Hulu offering one time payments options. As a consumer, I love it, but the devs might not be able to sustain the app from that model. I'd be interested if you have any other ideas though.
- Yes the app is really well made

Is infinity for lemmy ready for install? I don't see it in the playstore or any apk for the tagged versions.
- https://codeberg.org/Bazsalanszky/Infinity-For-Lemmy/releases
  
  You can use obtainium to keep it up to date
- Using it RN , looks good , tho thunder and liftoff are still better !

Infinty supports Lemmy now?

This is a game changer. Infinity FTW
- Is it on Android. Do you have a link?
  
  https://codeberg.org/Bazsalanszky/Infinity-For-Lemmy

Boost supremacy
- Is it available?
  
  Currently in development. Using Voyager until it's released

I like jerboa, but I love infinity.

I am liking most apps in some way. I keep switching between many. And also each of the apps are in active development. Currenly using: Summit, Thunder, Liftoff, Sync, Voyager.
I guess Voyager is also planning for a native app for both Android and iOS
Excited for all.

laughs in Connect
- Idk connect has had a lot of bugs.
  Things seem mostly ok now but there are some UI/UX features that still need some work imo

you know, you can block ads on Android. add as many trackers as you want, NextDNS will just sinkhole them 🤷‍♂️ it works just like PiHole. Adguard is good too. no need for any subscription.

Thunder! I run the ipa sideloaded. Gets weekly or so updates, very active development.
- Thunder keeps crashing for me. I switched to Connect today. We'll see how it goes.

I'm using Connect, Sync and Infinity. Sync is the most polished but Connect is very close. Connect let's you post as well as reply whereas Sync and Infinity only let you reply.
- Connect is very good, the only thing I don't like is how to handle the hiding read posts, I like more how Voyager, Summit and Sync do it.
  
  I'm too lazy to check, but I swear I turned on the setting for that in connect. Doesn't seem to work though so moot point I guess

I'll wait on sync until infinity for lemmy becomes usable, but yeah, infinity better
- How? I've been using sync for Reddit for so long I never tried some of the other ones like body or infinity. I actually had no idea it was open source either
- I haven't had a problem using it yet.

Imma stick with Jerboa. Their gradual improvement is amazing!

Infinity for Lemmy was developed?
- Mr Bazsalanszky forked it and is being developed now

  Oh thanks. I like Infinity I'll follow it.
  
  Also this

  Thank you! Just installed the APK. I was a sync pro user but the way the dev is handling Lemmy is disappointing with the ads, tracking and subscription only.

Interesting. I haven't come across any ads yet.
- I see an empty card for ads, I thought my adblockers blocked the actual content of the ads.
  
  I see that too but it's still empty without any ad blockers, at least for now.
  Edit: the ads are there now lol
- Do you have adguard or pihole or another DNS blocker? If so, I don't think you'll see ads. At least not yet.
  
  Nope, nothing like that.

Are people not using Memmy?
I can’t keep up with all the apps anymore.
- Mommy is iOS exclusive
  
  Not my mommy, she's on Android But yeah, that is an iPhone exclusive app
  
  Of course she is. Why would mommy ever raise a worthless android peon?

It is reality.
