For those offended by subscription for ad-free experience and data collection, consider Connect for Lemmy. No data collection and no pay-to-browse scheme.

I’m okay with paying the subscription fee. I purchased Sync for Reddit Ultra back in the day with a one time payment and that was great, but it was one of the most supported apps I have ever bought in all my years of using computers and phones. For several years, I got a well supported app, and I felt like I got a steal of a purchase. I don’t feel that the annual fee for Sync forLemmy is a cash grab by LJDawson, especially if the app just keeps getting better and better. It’s already the most polished Lemmy client out now.
Connect dev here. I can promise Connect will never have ads or subscriptions.
Connect is a good app, but it just isn’t as polished as Sync yet. I will stick with Connect for the time being though.
I was not a previous sync user, but it seems to be a beloved app. Although…
I am somewhat surprised at the use of personal data in the privacy policy.
I understand a guy’s gotta make a living, but with all the hype, I’m not sure I expected this.
I owned a Sync license but never used it, I preferred Relay. I think I had five or six licenses for Reddit apps including Relay.
