Does anyone else use the android app Connect for Lemmy? It reminds me of Infinity for Reddit. If you use it, do you like it better than Jerboa? I also found another new Lemmy app called Liftoff.

you might want to re-evaluate how you are scanning for trackers. I am running duck duck go’s app tracking protection on Android and this is it’s summary of connect for lemmy from the past 22 hours.
1175 tracking attempts blocked from 40 different companies(trackers)

That is concerning. Connect is not open-source I guess?
I think this comes down to the difference in how you and I secure our phones. I get no tracker pings on any of my apps. Not even with that DuckDuckGo app running for an hour.
Based on your sample results, Connect isn’t the problem. Your phone seems to be horribly compromised.
I installed connect for 10 minutes and found 45 requests of the same. Jerboa on the other hand raised no flags.
Thanks for the heads up. A shame since it looks decent. But I think I’ll pass now.
Replying to my own comment with an update. As of this week’s release, 1.0.57 (57), I’ve enabled the new option to open all links in an external browser. With that set ddg is no longer reporting any tracker activity from connect for lemmy.
I’m not sure how accurate this is, I’m not using trackers of any kind not even crash reporting beyond what the Play Store tracks by default.
