Title basically says it. Connect offers all of the functions I’d chosen Boost for on Reddit, and there are pretty few bugs for me. Nice job folks.
Same path, Boost automatic install, warning from trackercontrol (fdroid) that it contains 7 tracking libraries , uninstalled. Connect contains 0 tracking libraries by the app.
Yep, saw some posts about that and it just sealed the deal
I forgot about Boost and noticed today that it installed but I promptly uninstalled it. Lol I don’t need any other app except Connect.
Boost is getting a ton of criticism right now for taking your personal data in several sneaky ways. Beware.
I like both so I use one for one account, and one for my other account! I use both pretty equally so it balances out.
Also for those that don’t know, the tracking thing is a requirement for listing on Google plays ad network,and goes away completely if you pay to remove ads ($3.50, one time, ads removed forever).
Same for Sync
Exact same boat here. Connect hits all the right spots for me even though Boost was my main at the old place. It’s been fun seeing it improve too.
Yep, don’t really know why anyone would go for an ad filled, privacy disrespecting app when there’s connect. Makes no sense to me.
I’m personally using Eternity more than Connect these days, but I agree, there’s no need to settle when there’s so many great apps for Lemmy already.
The people flocking to Boost and Sync are long-time fans who intend to support the devs and not see ads.
