Sync for Reddit was one of the more popular Reddit apps on Android. (Maybe even the biggest?) Now that Reddit has stopped being reasonable with their API fees, the developer of Sync has been working on a Lemmy client using the same name. It released a couple days ago.
Most of the other Lemmy clients on Android are free and open source, but Sync is closed source and will be ad supported unless users pay a $20 one-time fee to remove ads or pay for a subscription to get some additional features. Because Sync is closed source, there's no way for users to audit what data the app is collecting or sending out.
Many users are using Sync because it's familiar and has a high degree of polish and functionality thanks to being a fork of a very well established app. Its popularity, along with the issues I mentioned above have got a vocal portion of the user base railing against the app and another vocal portion of the user base defending it.

Iβm not an Android user, so I donβt know Sync, but itβs bound to be a better Lemmy app than those godawful cross platform ones. Iβm glad it exists!
It definitely is, but mostly because it's got 10 years of a head start UX wise since it used to be a reddit app.

home sweet home
So far the only community I have blocked is the synch for lemmy community, because of the massive spam of posts about synch.
So can we please stop spamming about it in other communities too.
