I'm sure it is, but until the live version has single payment, I won't consider the switch. Even then, I don't use Lemmy half as much as I used Reddit, so I won't pay the same amount I paid for Reddit.

They already added the one-time payment to remove ads

I am looking forward to the lifetime payment, yeah. Is Sync made by a single dev? I don't know anything about this app aside from everyone clamoring for the team to make a Lemmy-compatible version.

I also find myself using Lemmy less than Reddit but I'm hoping as we discover and tailor our feeds with more fitting communities then it'll naturally become a healthy replacement. It took me like 10 years to curate my reddit algorithm.

Yes Sync is developed by a single Dev.

[–] Tigwyk@lemmy.vrchat-dev.tech 8 points 1 year ago

Well it's pretty damn cool for a single dev then, I'm impressed. I like the idea of giving money to a talented dev and not to reddit, too, so that feels nice.

One time payment option was just added.

[–] AEsheron@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just updated, not seeing the option anywhere. Would you mind saying where it is, I still just see an option for Ultra subscription for payment. I may be blind.

Tap the Lemmy mouse icon at the top left, should be there.

[–] Jyek@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

It does have single payment. You can pay once to remove the ads. The subscription is for a bunch of bonus features.

He's said there's plans for a lifetime option in the future. So just be the same as having Sync Pro.

Sync already feels far more polished than jerboa or connect in my opinion.

[–] Cerothen@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago

The one time pay to remove ads was released on the recent beta

[–] Aux@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Jerboa is useless crap in comparison. Also Sync is free if you're on with ads.

[–] kebabslob@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not the same kind of free. Jerboa is free w/ no strings. Which makes ads "crap by comparison"

[–] Aux@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

Jerboa strings are piss poor quality.

[–] Tangent5280@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Jerboa is also open source, meaning anyone can help improve it.

[–] lemann@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago

For me sadly Jerboa stability has gotten worse since the contributions 🥲

There's been lots of nice new features introduced, however one persistent bug where the UI doesn't know what I'm tapping occurs after a couple mins of use, and only an app restart fixes it.

I want to like the other apps, but so far I like my broken Jerboa more

[–] Aux@lemmy.world -2 points 1 year ago

Go on, improve it!

[–] Karlmit@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Felt the the same, but now with the one time pay to remove ads I am back using Sync

[–] armrods@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Lmao the scrolling in Jerboa is so fucking disgusting

[–] daninet@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Try Connect for lemmy or voyager. imho both opretty good, better than jeroba
