Sync is back on the Play Store, but it's not a third-party Reddit app anymore (www.androidpolice.com)

the ads are quite literally spyware
I'd probably be ok with a subscription even though I'm not a fan, but I just can't buy it because it relies on another spyware, Google Play Services, which I don't have on my phone
what external servers are needed there?

Objectively, ads are not spyware, thats a fact. Objectively, Google is not a spyware either, thats a fact regardless of your opinion. Every instance has their own servers, right now lemmy.world is super slow, earlier they disabled comments to mitigate an attack. Sync relies on your instance being reachable to work.

Your instance being reachable isn't anything to do with the sync dev tho. He doesn't pay to keep my instance up.

He relies on the instance up time
