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.

From F-Droid:

    Or you can buy Boost and get rid of the ad/tracking.

    Boost is brilliant and other apps still have catching up to do but the competition is getting better and better.

      I’ve used boost for forever in reddit, I used it when it came to lemmy.

      But voyager is better.

        Will give it a shot, thanks! Though I’m very happy with boost currently - what does voyager do better?

          Yes give it a try.

          I’m not saying that boost lacks anything. But it’s the feel that I get when using Voyager. I know it’s weird, but, it’s my enjoyment that made me switch.
