Yeah it’s pretty upsetting I really liked Sync too. If it helps at all I recently switched to Voyager after trying a few apps. They are all pretty good but for me at least switching to Voyager seemed to be the easiest coming from Sync.

Unfortunately it seems like the dev has abandoned his app. I also used Sync for reddit and was happy to pay for the Lemmy version. Money down the drain. At best it seems that there will be updates every 18 to 24 months, maybe if at all. This may have been fine on reddit but Lemmy is constantly being updated and changing. So the app is more often then not broken or missing functionality in some.way. Honest answer is to find another app and donate to another developer.

Valid point, and again I haven’t done this myself, but it seems you only need the VPN for the initial sign up and then you can login normally after that. Not perfect for everyone but an option to consider.
Also, and I guess I’m making a huge assumption but I’d imagine most people here have access to a VPN
I know this may be blasphemy but if you use a VPN to sign up from certain countries you can get YouTube premium for like 25 bucks for the year. Haven’t tried it personally but I’ve seen it mentioned a million times.
If they go to war with adblockers though some one smarter then me will probably come out with a way to just download the video and cut out ads post.
Sometimes clearing the app data and cache can also help. Not sure if it’s the answer here but worth a try.
