My feed has been flooded with posts about the Sync app released for Android, with a lot of hype but also some complaints regarding pricing, ads, privacy, etc.

This made me really appreciate Memmy, with which I have had no issues so far, and am impressed with how clean and easy it has been to use despite being new.

So that’s all, just a huge thank you.

I’ll second this. As a transplant of Reddit who used Apollo, Memmy seems to be heavily influenced by Apollo, which imo was an outstanding app.

I also saw all the posts about Sync and had to get caught up. Definitely makes me appreciate this app too.

Yeah sync's privacy is not the best, hoping the modding community can fix together a no-ads and less talking to 3rd party version of sync.

Can you elaborate on this? Is it just because it's not FOSS?

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

Not sure what to elaborate on, so I will just explain more in depth what I meant.

So, because Sync is a closed-source app, in order to modify it you will need to change the compiled code itself or to add your own code, hoping it doesn't affect the application.

no-ads and less talking to 3rd party version of sync. what I meant by this was that the modders would change 2 things : Ads and requests sent to 3rd parties (google, amazon, facebook, etc.). I have no clue how apk/android modding works, but I'm assuming all they have to do is remove the sections that add ads and talk to amazon, google, facebook etc with data.

Make sense? If not, let me know what doesn't and I'll try to explain it.
