Sync for Lemmy @lemmy.world Syd @lemm.ee 9 mo. ago

More ads, same issues

Now there's a giant, bright, tiktok ad at the top of every post yet this client still can't support redgifs after months. I jumped on the sync hype train, where should I get off?

redgifs

get off

heh.
Redgifs patch is going live right now
- Have to agree a little bit with op though, LJ. I bought Reddit Sync Pro about 4 times over the decade+ that I used it because I was happy to pay a fiver to get rid of the ads and support your work
  
  €17 is having a giraffe mate tbh
Time to join the FOSS side mate
Join us on Boost. It's pretty pretty pretty good.
- Boost has the exact same ads...
  
  But it's cheaper to unlock.
- Why if you are jumping jump to foss
  
  I like open source, but I also like supporting developers who eat food from making their apps.
- Pretty guuuuudh
Oh god, I was actually hoping that blank space was not an ad :/
- Ahh. I see you too have accepted our Lord and Savior, PiHole into your heart and network. Go in peace child.
  
  Pihole on the house, and AdAway root version all the time 😁
- Better at the bottom of the screen? That way it wouldn't need to reserve the space.
  
  I mean, that would be better, but I think it would be better to have it only in the main feed as it used to :)
  
  How about shoving them into the Options screen instead?
mods deleting recommendations for other apps as spam. Those apps don’t spam you with ads. unlike sync.
- Literally the only rule in the sidebar.
  
  I just dropped in from /all so didn’t read the side bar. But doesn’t make it not true.
Voyager.
Have you checked the two pinned posts of the community?
- I don't see pinned posts in my UI. Where are they?
  
  The two topmost posts of this community address the update situation.
Eternity!
Jerboa works pretty well for me, with no ads at all!
- But is intensely ugly.
  
  You think so? I thought it looked nice
I could would suggest you take a voyage around the App Store for Lemmy apps. I won’t name any. But there are many good ones.
- Nice reference you got there would be a shame if someone over explained and ruined it.
Mlem is free and improving, and I have yet to see an ad injected into the client
- Mlem is iOS only.

Connect doesn't have ads.. I don't understand why people opt for apps with ads. Are they much better? Connect gives me everything I'm looking for
- Connect has ugly fonts. If it looked as nice as Sync, I'd switch in a second.
