I was looking forward to trying Sync today now that it's live, but my enthusiasm was immediately dampened after seeing the "Data Safety" section on the Google Play store.

Liftoff has been great, and want to say thanks for making an awesome app. This will continue to be my daily driver.


Edit: for clarity, because the post got way bigger than I expected.

Sync looks like a fantastic app, and the dev/s should charge whatever they feel is fair for their efforts, even if that's through the usual ads + ad tracking.

My intent was just to post here in /c/Liftoff to thank the Liftoff devs for managing to somehow offer an awesome app without any of that.

I just wish more apps would allow blocking instances. I don't want to hide all NSFW content, but hot damn there is a lot of different porn communities in @lemmynsfw and it is a pain to block each individually.

Sync has this feature. Liftoff does not and voyager(my old daily use) did not.

Sync also does feature markup settings that voyager does not like bold hidden text ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Instance blocking would be really nice. There are also some bot instances that mirror content from reddit, and while I get the appeal, I'd rather not have it in my feed. I've just been blocking the bots individually.

Sync and connect both have block instance options.

BTW if you have blocked communities, that is account level and will travel with you when you install one of the other apps.

I'm pretty sure instance locking is app based and not tied to your account.

Hm... not sure whether it's app or account based, I think Mastodon has it as account based... or does it? 🤔
