Does anyone else use the android app Connect for Lemmy? It reminds me of Infinity for Reddit. If you use it, do you like it better than Jerboa? I also found another new Lemmy app called Liftoff.
Connect for Lemmy: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kuroneko.lemmy_connect
you might want to re-evaluate how you are scanning for trackers. I am running duck duck go's app tracking protection on Android and this is it's summary of connect for lemmy from the past 22 hours.
1175 tracking attempts blocked from 40 different companies(trackers)

I think this comes down to the difference in how you and I secure our phones. I get no tracker pings on any of my apps. Not even with that DuckDuckGo app running for an hour.
Based on your sample results, Connect isn't the problem. Your phone seems to be horribly compromised.
Thanks for the heads up. A shame since it looks decent. But I think I'll pass now.
I installed connect for 10 minutes and found 45 requests of the same. Jerboa on the other hand raised no flags.
That is concerning. Connect is not open-source I guess?
