Oh yeah, that definitely should be the case why it is not working for me, I am using the GitHub version which is 2.1.1...
But I think now I'm confused did you actually manage to get rid of the Sync ads blocks?
Or you have the block with the "empty" ads?
In the Lsposed app within the MinMinGuard section you have selected Sync for Lemmy there too or only within the MinMinGuard settings?
I am a bit lost in your third point, maybe can I see some screenshots?
On 11 and later that could be the case indeed.
The ads is gone, but the block is still there with only the text "Sponsored content" in it.
I've selected every app in the MinMinguard section in LSposed. That is where you specify for which app LSposed should activate the module. In the MinMinGuard settings (open the app itself) I selected whitelist as mode (block everywhere except where specified) and I whitelisted 2 games, so they can run ads for in-game goodies and the rest get their ads blocked.
When you open MinMinGuard you see 3 tabs at the top, auto, blacklist and whitelist.
Select the option you want. I went for the whitelist mode. Alas, LSPosed doesn't have that option, there you need to activate MinMinGuard for every new app you install, but at least after that you're safe from ads when using the whitelist mode..
I see, well, sadly it wasn't working for me, it didn't block ads (I'm using A13) and at the end of the day it didn't block the Sync squares which was what I was looking for, hopefully this apps gets another revision or update to make it working again as intended in newest Android release, because the concept is more cool than just blocking ads DNS/host file based for sure!
Strange, it did block the ads here (Lineage 20/Android 13), but indeed didn't remove the squares around the ads.
