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.

EDIT: The dev replied below and said there aren’t any trackers in the app. It looks like the trackers are actually from web sites that are loaded in the browser internal to the app. I changed the setting to load web pages in an external browser and the tracking notifications from the Connect app went away, so it looks like my original comment below is incorrect and Connect doesn’t have any trackers. The trackers I was picking up were from web sites with trackers being loaded in Connect. It looks like the app is fine and you should definitely use it. It’s super easy to use and looks good.
The duck duck go app tracker firewall thing their browser comes with stops trackers coming from Connect. It’s a bummer cuz I like the app but I’ve been using a web browser more and more to access lemmy.Connect dev here. We have 0 trackers of any kind.
Yeah that’s definitely my bad, it looks like the trackers are actually from web sites that are loaded in the browser internal to the app. I edited my original comment so people know. Thanks for not adding trackers by the way! The app is really nice and easy to use.
