  • I’ve been loving it, feels good to be using it again. Lemmy isn’t as active as I would love it to be (especially in the topics I’m interested in), but being able to scroll around using Sync has really motivated me to be active here. I hope that happens with more people.

    I really wish I could submit posts using the app, and there are a couple of the features that feel like should be basic functions that require a subscription to use. Happy to support the developer, but I don’t like subscription models and not sure if there’s enough value here for me (yet) to justify a one-time $99 payment.

    I’d also love it if the “no more posts loaded. Retry?” toast message would time out and fade away. It ends up blocking some of the info for the last post it loaded at the bottom of the screen, and it just doesn’t leave!


  • I use a program called Blockada on my phone. (get it from their website, not from the Play Store) Blockada runs a VPN locally on your device to filter all ad traffic from your data usage.

    You can whitelist specific site requests that are getting blocked, or whitelist whole apps to allow ads in them specifically.

    I never saw ads in Sync (I presume because of my system-wide ad blocking), but I went ahead and purchased ad-free to support the continued development of Sync.
