According to the tracking scanner Exodus (can be found on F-Droid), which keeps an updated database on trackers and runs your installed app against its register, you can track what apps are tracking you and clues of how. Saw that Boost is tracking me and uninstalled it and went straight to Jerboa. Jerboa is pretty similar to good ole’ RedditIsFun-app and easy to use, so I am personally recommending it.

    You do you, most goes with what’s free and there are plenty of good free options available.

    Ads are a bad way of funding the development, especially for Lemmy, a place where a lot of people are increasingly privacy-minded.
