Ditto. I used to be a big Sync fan and used it for years as my primary mobile client for Reddit until 8-10 months or so ago when the dev did a 'fuck off and be unable to be contacted while something in the app breaks' break, which led to a bunch of ads appearing despite paying for no ads (and according to people on the subreddit at the time it was not a one time occurrence lol). I switched that day to Boost and didn't go back, but I was looking forward to trying out Sync for Lemmy when it released.
All the privacy and pricing concerns the last 24 hours have brought forth does not make me wanna even touch the app lol. I'm not paying that much money to fucking browse a glorified forum on my phone (specially when there's many other options).
Not sure if it's in the works for Lemmy but Kbin is working on a proper instance block (we have a domain one right now but that doesn't block em all). Will be nice once it's up lol.
This is the way. Been using RSS feeds since 2005. Haven't had a piece of news delivered to me via Reddit, Facebook, Twitter or any other social media without it being in my feeds within 5 minutes. Never need to go anywhere else.
