I have about 5 different apps installed right now, and while I plan to test them all out, curious what people’s conclusions are thus far.

    Just fyi, the tracking is only for ads and all tracking is gone once you remove the ads through Ultra or the one time payment. I don’t expect this to please most, but as someone who has used Sync for Reddit for basically my entire existence on Reddit, I’ve only paid a couple bucks back then for an app I used every day. So far I feel right at home here and I’m willing to pay after some time and seeing how this goes. The number of options is only growing and Sync is bringing new users to Lemmy either way. I’ve been through like 6 other Lemmy clients and Sync is still the one for me.

    Edit: Several users confirmed tracking wasn’t present after removing ads.

      I mean hypothetically the tracking is gone

        I haven’t got a single hit on the duckduckgo app tracking. I bought a year, and if I’m still liking it then, I’ll probably drop ultra and just go for the lifetime no ads. Not even sure how bad the ads are on free, because I was on my piholed network when I installed it, and paid before going to mobile data.

          Hopefully the developer keeps respecting user privacy in the future.

        My pihole hasn’t shown any tracking. Ad free truly gets rid of it.
