Relay for Reddit app stays as one of the few remaining third party apps for Reddit and they are forced to go to a subscription model but the cost of such a subscription is related to how many API calls per user are done.

This screenshot was taken from the yet working patched Sync for Reddit app.

    Relay has a reason to charge a monthly fee, and sync does not.

      A developer wanting to get something in return for their work is a reason. It’s also an option for the user. Sync offers a one time payment for Ad Free and for their “Plus” features. It also has the option for a monthly subscription.

        135$ for the full app… sync is like the star citizen of lemmy apps

          I have a rooted device with AdAway and that is backed up by Adguard Home running on my network so I can use Sync without ads at no costs. And I uninstalled it after a few days. Now that Infinity (now called Eternity) released, there will be no looking back to it from me. I even will prefer Jerboa over Sync when Jerboa gets default comment sorting. Sync is really over-rated in my opinion.

          I’ve tried every lemmy client but only Jerboa, Eternity, and Voyager remain on my phone right now.

            Thanks for the tip, I’ll have to check eternity out. Any advice for the pihole, I’ve been thinking of getting one of them

              If you only want to run pihole or adguard home for ads then just buy a used Pi3 on eBay for $15-$30 and follow the instructions on pi-hole.net

              But if you want to get into selfhosting other things, and it’s highly likely you will go down that rabbit hole, it’s addictive, then I would recommend starting with a used ThinkCentre M93p from eBay for $80-$120. Install OpenMediaVault on it, get your feet wet setting up a few services with docker. Some of the more popular services selfhosters run are: pihole, airsonic, nextcloud, paperless-ngx, immich, sonarr, lidarr… I could go on, but I don’t want to overwhelm you. If you are interested in the other things, take a look at this extensive list of selfhostable services, and sub to the selfhosting sublems. The selfhosting communities are pretty active and friendly here on Lemmy.
