My feed has been flooded with posts about the Sync app released for Android, with a lot of hype but also some complaints regarding pricing, ads, privacy, etc.

This made me really appreciate Memmy, with which I have had no issues so far, and am impressed with how clean and easy it has been to use despite being new.

So that’s all, just a huge thank you.

Well, it’s including the „Microsoft App Center“ tracker. I have to block ||appcenter.ms^

Several other Lemmy Apps do not have any tracker.

Edit: turns out the request can be useful. See comments. Still strange to get from Microsoft.

    I’d guess that’s because we use CodePush to do over the air updates, so you don’t have to wait for apple to approve a build.

    Are you sure it’s the app and not websites you visit through Lemmy or your instance tracking you? I’m not seeing any tracking on my end when just browsing.

    Yes, I am sure. The App Store even say that some device ID are get shared with the App.

    This was explained by the dev at some point when the app went to the store. I believe this is related to push notifications. There is a post about it/comment by the developer but Lemmy.world is giving me server errors when I try to find it.

    Not sure where the appcenter tracker is coming from though.

    Appcenter does OTA push updates, dev is probably making a fast update system so they don't have to push updates to the various stores, the app was made in react native so appcenter is pretty standard for codepush OTA updates
