Haven't seen any ads on Sync, but I've only been using it for like an hour or 2 now.

I couldn't stand the other apps for Lemmy. They felt too disjointed. Plus coming from Sync for Reddit, I just get the same look and feel that I'd been using for years, so there's a definite bias.

Apparently Boost came to Lemmy too, so might give that a go too.

I should clarify. I didn't see any ads, just the blank block that said "sponsored content" so I don't think it's fully implemented yet.

I get people saying you can pay to get rid of them, but I'll wait until it's fully implemented to decide who I stick with / give money to.

That's weird, cause for me, it looks like sync pro when I scroll, there's absolutely no ad spaces or anything. Wonder if it's a bug or something.
