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

get off

heh.

[–] ljdawson 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Redgifs patch is going live right now

[–] Mr_Blott 42 points 1 year ago

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

Oh god, I was actually hoping that blank space was not an ad :/

[–] stoicmaverick 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ahh. I see you too have accepted our Lord and Savior, PiHole into your heart and network. Go in peace child.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

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

[–] ljdawson 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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 :)

[–] rdri 0 points 1 year ago

How about shoving them into the Options screen instead?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Join us on Boost. It's pretty pretty pretty good.

[–] ljdawson 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Boost has the exact same ads...

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But it's cheaper to unlock.

Why if you are jumping jump to foss

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I like open source, but I also like supporting developers who eat food from making their apps.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] victorz -1 points 1 year ago

Pretty guuuuudh

[–] HootinNHollerin 17 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

mods deleting recommendations for other apps as spam. Those apps don’t spam you with ads. unlike sync.

[–] ljdawson 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Literally the only rule in the sidebar.

Have you checked the two pinned posts of the community?

[–] maryjayjay 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] maryjayjay 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

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 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] MrJameGumb 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] MrJameGumb 1 points 1 year ago

You think so? I thought it looked nice

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Jayayess1190 2 points 1 year ago

Mlem is iOS only.

[–] ChexMax -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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