If you purchased Sync for Reddit in the past, can you recover that purchase in the Sync for Lemmy?
Sync is very well made in my opinion it's one of the few apps out there which I truly think deserves my support.
I bought sync pro and have sync for lemmy installed; there's no way to activate pro right now, and afaik that option is not coming.
Presently you can buy a permanent ad removal in-app for $20, you can subscribe to sync ultra for $17/yr, or you can use it free with ads.
It's a good app, and the dev absolutely deserves to make money. If I understand correctly, developing sync is his full-time job. The prices are definitely steeper than with sync for reddit, but Lemmy is a much smaller community. He can't necessarily expect as many sales.
Since beta 25 it is now possible (and the developer had mentioned before that it was coming).
Edit: I stand corrected (should have read your comment more attentively), what's available is, as you say, the option to remove ads with a one-time payment, as well as the sync ultra subscription. I'm not sure how the ad removal option is different from the pro mode in sync for reddit, though.
