        Yeah back on Connect myself but the previous release as it now has pag numbers which just really seems a strange thing to add and for some reason just niggles me enough to make it annoying. But that’s just me

      yeah… i certainly won’t be using it

      it’s a shame, as it has some nice features that no other client has; but the privacy policy is just incredible

      Spend your money more wisely and support Lemmy devs (and instances) which don’t have ads and tracking.

          Yeah, piggybacking off of the hard work all the devs and instances put in is really annoying. Sync brought Reddit to Lemmy (unfortunately). Time to move on I guess.

            ‘Piggybacking’ is a weird way to put it when good clients are an important part of a website, and Sync is a fantastic one. That’s one of the big reasons people moved off of reddit, no?

            Sync brought Reddit to Lemmy

            Yeah that’s… the goal

      *per year

      also, as a closed-source app, there’s no guarantee that actually removes tracking. i’m not going to say sync does this, because that would be libel, but there’s nothing stopping sync collecting everything it can collect anyways and selling them to the highest bidder, just not showing actual ads in-app

        The yearly subscription is for Ultra. The ad removal option in profile -> remove ads is permanent.

        LJ has always been very open with the community the whole time Sync was for reddit. You could post about it in !syncforlemmy@lemmy.world if you’re worried about tracking

          i’m going to take you at your word, as i can’t see that option to prove or disprove (you sure it’s in profile, not settings?)

          i know. i never really used sync after the redesign, but i have full respect for mr dawson.

          honestly there’s no real point, many people have done so already. but i personally don’t like the privacy policy, and the fact i would have to agree to firebase & crashlytics to use the app (i’m actually pro opt-out telemetry; but not un-opt-able and not via google). and sync is nice, but it’s not that much nicer than thunder

            It was pushed out as an update yesterday a few hours after the initial open beta launch. Make sure yours is fully updated.

            The dev actually listened to user feedback after the big redesign and I was able to customize it to what I wanted.

              so it was. i still maintain that £18.99 is a bit steep though.

              yeah, that’s what i heard. but i’d already moved on to slide, and now i’m happy enough with thunder

    Should it be possible to login to the app using kbin.social credentials? Doesn’t seem to work for me.

      In the future, but right now Sync is only a Lemmy. In the meantime for kbin Artemis is pretty good and where public beta this week.
