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@lemmy.world 21 points 3 months ago

Redgifs patch is going live right now

[-] Mr_Blott@lemmy.world 42 points 3 months 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

[-] The_wild_card@lemmy.today 19 points 3 months ago

Time to join the FOSS side mate

[-] kratoz29@lemm.ee 18 points 3 months ago

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

[-] stoicmaverick@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

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 points 3 months ago

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

[-] ljdawson@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

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

[-] kratoz29@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months 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@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago

How about shoving them into the Options screen instead?

[-] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 18 points 3 months ago

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

[-] ljdawson@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

Boost has the exact same ads...

[-] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 10 points 3 months ago

But it's cheaper to unlock.

[-] ljdawson@lemmy.world 20 points 3 months ago

Sale time?

[-] The_wild_card@lemmy.today 2 points 3 months ago

Why if you are jumping jump to foss

[-] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 months ago

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

[-] The_wild_card@lemmy.today 2 points 3 months ago

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 points 3 months ago

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

[-] victorz@lemmy.world -1 points 3 months ago

Pretty guuuuudh

[-] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.world 17 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

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

[-] ljdawson@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

Literally the only rule in the sidebar.

[-] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

Have you checked the two pinned posts of the community?

[-] maryjayjay@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

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

[-] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

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

[-] maryjayjay@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

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 points 3 months 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

[-] synae@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 3 months ago

Eternity!

[-] hightrix@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

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 points 3 months ago

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

[-] MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

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

[-] richieadler@lemmy.myserv.one 2 points 3 months ago

But is intensely ugly.

[-] MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

You think so? I thought it looked nice

[-] astraeus@programming.dev 1 points 3 months ago

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

[-] Jayayess1190@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Mlem is iOS only.

[-] ChexMax@lemmy.world -1 points 3 months ago

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 points 3 months ago

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