When Sync got released, I was feeling guilty using it (as a jerboa user). But over time, I got used to it. It makes me use lemmy on my phone too, so I still consider this step in a better direction.
Functionality wise, I dislike icons and app icon on jerboa.
What I’m still struggling with is if it’s still ok with my mortal compass to use Reddit to find information I know will be there. Specifically, product reviews.
I’m no longer contributing content on Reddit, and I’m not passively browsing either, but how do y’all feel about tapping reddit’s wealth of information?
I subscribe to RSS feeds for subreddits that don’t exist on Lemmy just so that I don’t give them any clicks or ad revenue.
For answers to questions or problems that are only available on Reddit, I turn on my favorite privacy browser, I hold my breath, go to that specific post, get my answer, and gtfo asap.
Like the saying goes, never stick it in crazy. But if you have to, be protected.
I need a client that automatically marks as read as you scroll by. And it doesn’t bring back the read threads every time you reopen or refresh the god damn app.
Most of the clients I’ve used could do that (Connect, Voyager, Sync). You just have to go and look through the settings. Also the Lemmy web UI can hide read posts too. Just go to your account settings and untick the “show read posts” option
Show me a foss client which shows community suggestions in the search bar when you start typing and auto collapsing comments features. Otherwise you can’t change my mind.
I’m on Sync right now, immediately went to see how much it was to buy the pro version only to discover it’s now subscription and if I want a one time payment it’s a hundred bucks… Even just removing adverts is 20 bucks… Fuck this thing, I’m uninstalling.
Be polite and chill. And what you can do is simply choose not to send data. It’s an option that’s provided in the app fyi lmao. " Oh it collects data I heard it from this guy" see for yourself lol.
