Hello, past sync for Reddit user here. I heard connect was a good app to use as it had similar look and feel here on Lemmy. I was using for a day or two when I spotted this in my duckduckgo app tracking protection screen. I can't say I have come across an app using so many different trackers, any reason I am not aware of for all these? Thanks

Connect is the most feature rich of all lemmy clients but it seems incredibly unoptimized.

Aside from the "usual" random crashes. I can literally feel my phone getting more and more sluggish until the system memory is just filled to the brim and it crashes. Definitely not a Doom Scroll friendly client at the moment.

My guess is all these trackers are from linked URLs from posts that Connect fetches without valid reason.

Since it's still in early development I will still keep an eye on it, but yeah, it needs some more optimization

Case in point:

Jerboa uses max 250MB and a mature app like Relay barely tops 200MB

On my other device it's even worse.
