IT FEELS SO GOOD TO BE HOME

Arch btw

Butthole problems

I did a quick test and confirmed no trackers were present after paying for ultra.

I tested this yesterday. There were zero hits in TrackerControl with ads removed.

I've been using Obtainium instead and loaded Infinity through it this morning. You can also have it pull from f-droid repos instead of GitHub if you want when that hits

Edit: Currently the app is in prerelease so you'll need to toggle that option. Once they have a full release you can toggle it back off.

I saw this with other Lemmy apps recently. It 100% grabs trackers from posts as well. The remaining Google ones are likely related to ads in the app which I would expect to disappear when you remove ads.

I'll give it a whirl and report back in a bit.

Sorry I'm not sure what you're saying. There's 3 or more distinct groups here:

1. Lemmy devs, responsible for Lemmy itself + they run lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml
2. Server admins, responsible for whatever instance you're browsing from and whatever instance the post is on (I use lemmy.dbzer0.com, you're on sh.itjust.works, these are two different admins/teams of admins)
3. App devs, in Sync's case ljdawson

Are you looking for a single donation to go to all of these groups?

Was it Facebook that killed xmpp or Google? Legitimately asking because I've always seen that blamed on Google.

Also worth noting at the time they said it was temporary and due to the lack of sufficient mod tools available in Lemmy. If mod tools improve that could change. But yes, right now it's definitely something to think about with world being a massive instance that m with a lot of larger communities.

My work has IMAP shut off and we can only use MAPI. There's a paid thunderbird plugin that adds MAPI support, which is likely what this person is hoping for natively 👍

That's a very narrow definition of self hosting. Do you also not consider it self hosting if you use a cloud provider VPS? It relies on a 3rd party so I'd love to see the gymnastics that keep stuff on a VPS as self hosted but not Plex. If you don't consider things on a VPS as self hosted then I'm not sure what to say other than I disagree.

All you should need to do is set the App Source URL to https://codeberg.org/... and then toggle on Include prereleases. Once they get a full release out you can toggle it off

For me it's a familiarity thing. I'd been using Sync for Reddit for close to a decade. It's my defacto standard for feature set in these types of apps. I've tried and continue to use the apps that came out first, but every single one of them has quirks that don't align with how I prefer to use the platform. Sync does.

Saying all the apps are literally the same makes me wonder what it is you're looking to get out of them/how you use them. Do you like to share images from posts with people outside of Lemmy? That's easier on some than others.

For example, on Summit I have to open the image in the internal browser then the external browser then copy the link/share from there. On Connect they have a 3 dot menu that has a share url option. On Sync it's a 3 dot then share option/copy URL to clipboard.

It's little nuances like that that make or break an app for me. At a certain level these are all just interfaces to interact with the Lemmy platform so they are going to be similar in many ways. But some apps can offer a better user experience than others. It really depends on what you want/how you use the platform.

Yeah I've been using a lot of the available apps and while I had my favorites (Summit and Liftoff) there has always been little quirks that I've just been dealing with. The moment Sync hit my device it's like I'm back to my reddit experience for the last decade. I'll still keep an eye on the other apps, because I very much prefer and try to support open source developers. But I just can't force a subpar experience on myself.

The Summit dev has been extremely responsive and has added in a few features I requested on a quick turnaround. They also happen to be out of town on a work trip this week so the timing probably sucks for them. And as I'm typing this I'm remembering that ones not even open source 🤦‍♂️.

Here's how I tested:

Pihole off on my home network, TC running. Open Sync (I paid for ultra, so no ads) and then exported the csv. There were zero hits. Open theScore (riddled with trackers and ads) and then exported the csv. There were 16 hits.

Left is Sync, right is theScore.

This, but lemmynsfw 🙈

You can also throw the releases page URL into obtainium and toggle to include pre-releases and it'll notify you of any updates/install them.
