    I just leave you with my favorite quote of Ljdawson, made during the reddit api war:

    “I don’t know. I don’t track shit.”

    He has crashlytics. That’s about it.

    Tbh, I don’t care for open or closed source, I don’t even care for free or payed. (19 bucks per year… That’s like what, a coffee and a donut at a Starbuck?)

    Stuff must just work and to be honest… All available clients all work sort of.

    This one does this good but sucks at multi instances. That one screws up gifs from that and this site. Made an error typing your user name!/password during setup? Tough shit. You can’t edit it so redo from start, remove it and type well this time.

    Sync just seems to work.

    That’s not to shit on anyone hard work: I can’t do it, I can’t make them, I’m glad these clients exist. I don’t expect free tools to be perfect.

    But I’m also superglad Sync for lemmy is a thing. And I will pay for it when it’s out of beta.

      Sync not only works. It’s the smoothest App I have on my phone. The animations and transitions are just beautiful, well timed and do not stutter even a tiny bit. I wish all android apps were like Sync. I’ll gladly pay whatever he charges.

      And that is why I’ve used it for all these years. There are no weird quirks, it just does exactly what I need it to do.

      Yeah I assumed the ad tracking was mostly Google’s own doing, or whatever ad provider that hes using for injected ads.

      Didn’t I read the current version does not allow you to post? I feel its pretty weird to release an app in that state and still keep ads in it.

      But if you are happy paying and using that, more power to you! Meanwhile I save that money and use one of the many open source clients that actually work.

        I’m posting from it right now. The ads don’t seem to work through. I’m not blocking any but I’ve not seen one yet.

          That sounds better then, thanks for clearing that up.

      Sync is fantastic, and I’ve used it for years. But I’ll be sticking with Thunder. Its UI is close, and I’m able to contribute the things I want to change.

      You do you, but for me personally, the only honest software in existence is software willing to disclose it’s source code.
