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 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.

ljdawson@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 2y (2 replies)

Boost has the exact same ads...

wise_pancake@lemmy.ca · 10 pts · 2y (1 reply)

But it's cheaper to unlock.

ljdawson@lemmy.world · 20 pts · 2y

Sale time?

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.

The_wild_card@lemmy.today · 2 pts · 2y (2 replies)

Ahh yes foss devs don't need food they run air.

If they want to charge for apps they can, I like boost, it’s a good app and I’m happy to pay for it. Sync is also a good app but it’s too expensive.

The_wild_card@lemmy.today · 2 pts · 2y

Well foss ones are really good in my opinion and they are free

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.

kratoz29@lemm.ee · 5 pts · 2y

Pihole on the house, and AdAway root version all the time 😁

ljdawson@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y (2 replies)

Better at the bottom of the screen? That way it wouldn't need to reserve the space.

kratoz29@lemm.ee · 1 pts · 2y

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.

ljdawson@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Literally the only rule in the sidebar.

HootinNHollerin@lemmy.world · -6 pts · 2y

I just dropped in from /all so didn’t read the side bar. But doesn’t make it not true.

Have you checked the two pinned posts of the community?

maryjayjay@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y (3 replies)

I don't see pinned posts in my UI. Where are they?

ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y (2 replies)

The two topmost posts of this community address the update situation.

maryjayjay@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y (1 reply)

I wonder if it is because I clicked on them sometime before and now they're hidden in Sync. I couldn't find a quick way to see hidden posts.

Anyway, I did restore purchases and now ads are gone

SaintWacko@midwest.social · 4 pts · 2y

Do you have it set to show posts over the last "x" hours? That'll hide the pinned posts if they're not in that timeframe

hightrix@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y (1 reply)

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.

Random_internet_user@lemmy.today · 1 pts · 2y

Nice reference you got there would be a shame if someone over explained and ruined it.

MrJameGumb@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y (2 replies)

Jerboa works pretty well for me, with no ads at all!

richieadler@lemmy.myserv.one · 2 pts · 2y (1 reply)

But is intensely ugly.

MrJameGumb@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

You think so? I thought it looked nice

astraeus@programming.dev · 1 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Mlem is free and improving, and I have yet to see an ad injected into the client

Jayayess1190@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

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

richieadler@lemmy.myserv.one · 1 pts · 2y

Connect has ugly fonts. If it looked as nice as Sync, I'd switch in a second.
