What constitutes Usage Data. Is it sharing the posts I view, communities I subscribe to etc?

Does paying for a premium version stop this data being collected?

LJ was very adamant about not collecting or keeping any user data under the reddit regime. I'm happy giving him the benefit of the doubt here.

The point is we don't formally know.

The dev has stated that the tracking is disabled if ads are disabled, and other users have confirmed that via duckduckgo.

Hope this works but here's what ddg is showing me was blocked. Only Google attempted to track and it was only once before I purchased ultra. Basically everything Google already knows about anyone using android.

TIL the DuckDuckGo app protection, thanks!

[-] Fissionami@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

What's that app you're using to see that info?

[-] SoleInvictus@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It's duckduckgo private browser. It does more than just browsing, there's an app tracking protection feature.

Yea but does that prevent Google from getting that data via AdMob?

[-] andysteakfries@lemmy.world 48 points 1 year ago

Removing ads via IAP or the Sync Ultra subscription eliminates that data sharing.

Per the dev, responding to my question in the discord server just now.

[-] ZodiacPi@lemmy.world 34 points 1 year ago

Why are the responses to all these questions happening in Discord rather than the official Sync Lemmy channel? ๐Ÿค”

[-] andysteakfries@lemmy.world 27 points 1 year ago

The Discord is just as official as this community?

[-] Madbrad200@lemmy.world 54 points 1 year ago

Discord is a closed garden, it's awful for things like this.

[-] AphoticDev@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 1 year ago

Because it's the official Discord, and it's been around far longer than Sync for Lemmy? What kind of question is that even?

[-] Brunbrun6766@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Because he's busy? Not everyone is terminally online

Btw pro tip: you can insert the literal meme as Lemmy supports image/gif posting ;)

This showing up right? It's a tiny circle on kbin mobile. Sorry if I blew up your notifications while I tried figuring this out.
