I get the reason for there being Ads in the sync app. I don’t have the funds to pay for ultra and that’s also fine.
But what I find concerning is the type of ads I see. I live in Germany for clarification and most of what I see are websites acting like news sites (right leaning at times). When I accidentally tap on them my browser immediately blocks the website for unsafe practices on their end.
Now I really don’t mind the ads in apps if it’s the usual app ad, random products or Amazon type of things. But I hate it when every ad is a boomer ass clickbait ad about how solar energy is definitely worse than anything else.
This is my main complaint about sync right now and it might push me to stop using it again as the ads are also very frequent…

Set your DNS to
dns.adblock-dns.comon your phone, and get uBlock Origin on your computer. It’s been so long since I’ve seen any ads.Man I’ve been sat here wondering what the fuss was with ads. It’s not the only client I’m using, but when I do, I see no ads.
And then I saw this and remembered that I did this a couple years ago.
Mine is full of TEMU, tiktok, and crap Android game video ads.
That, and completely unreadable ads for weight loss or getting swole. Like this…
I tried Sync but I like Jerboa better. Free, no ads
Jerboa is okay but ported Reddit apps with years of development behind them are better in my opinion.
Before Sync I used Connect (!lemmyconnect@lemmy.ca). It’s not all that different and it’s ad free (at least was for me, could’ve been Pihole doing its thing).
