But if one doesn't want to pay to rid Sync of ads, Thunder is an open source, free, actively developed alternative. It's still not feature complete, but I've been happily using it since I hopped over from reddit. And contributed a good few features myself, like user and community sidebars.

The next update will include my work on an indicator that shows if and how many new comments a post you've already visited has received since you last opened it (like in the webUI). And some other guys on the team have gotten notifications implemented.

You guys have got ads on Sync? I haven't and I'm still using the free version.

I wouldn't recommend Sync at this stage anymore as the lone developer is gone completely AFK for months.

Despite charging £100 for a premium app tier...

Do yourself a favour and use something else. At some point I'll try out Connect.

I don't use sync. I installed it to check out whether it had that feature I wanted.

It does, but I'm sticking with Thunder.

I think it's only in some views. Are you using compact?

[–] Risk@feddit.uk 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, using compact.

Pretty sure ads only appear in slides/cards
