    There’s a Lemmy app that has ads, and a subscription tier. Which is pretty funny because it isn’t updated, I don’t know why anyone still uses it

      Yeah, Boost. I use it because I can go to a porn community that I just discovered and go waaaaay back and save posts which appear in my saved list in the order in which I saved them. On all the other apps I’ve tried the posts are saved in the order in which they were posted.

        I was actually talking about Sync. Wild to know there’s two Lemmy apps that are not free and no longer developed!

        Edit: I’m fairly certain one of the app devs that are super active, like voyager or summit, could add the feature you like if you bring it up

          Is sync that bad? The ads were a one removal for quite cheap. The developer has to get paid somehow.

          What app do you recommend on Android?

            It hasn’t been updated, let alone the dev hasn’t been online, for over a year and a half. Mind you the dev is still taking subscription payments for an app that is rather broken at this point. Most of the other apps don’t require payments and don’t have ads. It’ll fully be broken when Lemmy 1.0 releases. Compare that to any number of Lemmy apps that have been continuously updated without ads or subscriptions.

            What features you like in an app will be your own! But, I’m on android and have been very happy with Voyager. The dev is responsive, and it’s one of the handful I know that now also work with piefed.

      The proprietary monetized app -> never updated at the same level of FOSS alternatives combo seems to be eternal in almost all categories lol. Just look at Nintendo with their official vs community emulators.
