I just don’t want the data collection and subscriptions.

    If you pay the 1 time and removal then no ads, no subscription, and then there’s no tracking either. It’s only part of the Google Ads which isn’t used if you remove ads.

    Trying Voyager now, installed the app on my android via Firefox. It’s nice and simple and I really like the look and feel of the UI, both when posts are compact and large.

    My only complaint, which is true for all the FOSS Lemmy apps, is that the appearance settings, really all settings, are global for the app and not based on the account you are browsing with. That is the one nice feature of Sync that is stopping me from sticking with any of the FOSS apps. Having my account on lemm.ee open straight to All Communities with compact posts and NSFW blurred, while having my …other Lemmy account… open straight to Local Communities with large posts and no NSFW blurring is a really nice feature of Sync.

    I’m using free apps and I donate. Although I feel as though I need to donate to the instances more. Can only imagine their costs going higher as they get more traffic.

    You may try Infinity for Lemmy. It’s a fork of Infinity for Reddit and it is actively being developed.

    Yeah, same boat here. Was a longtime Sync Pro user back on reddit, and saw LJ as a dev worth supporting, but I’m not entirely on board with the changes on the privacy end. Maybe if that stuff changes I’ll go back.

        Quite. That’s why I used to use Pro, however. And ultra as a regular subscription is… a bit out of my price range. I’ve heard that there’s an ad free only tier priced lower, but I couldn’t find it in the app, so… shrug

        I’ll probably come back to it eventually after post-launch flux ends and such, but we’ll see.

        I guess after a few months here we forgot about entities that literally only care about money and data harvesting.

        Why would anyone use sync over Infinity?

        An open source app that has always been every bit as good, if not better.

        I would rather give that money to the host of my local instance.

          Because I like Sync better and value is subjective. Besides, the dev is super responsive and active, Sync pushes updates very frequently with fixes and community requested features.
