I'm using Sync right now. I've tried a few different lemmy apps and this is the only one that actually works without bugs. Maybe because it's a paid developers full time job and not just some free side project?

I do wish it wasn't a subscription. Apps are generally a flat fee.

yeah I think I'll go to the ad removal fee. it's expensive but I use it a lot ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

I originally did the monthly sub because I didn't have an option and that was the cheapest, it is kinda pricey but it's light years ahead of what I was using

also I'm a developer and I think the guy who made it has probably working like mad to make this, and if it's his sole income and it got pulled out from under him... idk. it's a gamble to not just go get a 9-5 and work on this instead

bro has to eat and I already donate to my local instance.

The dev updated it a couple days ago so you could get Pro / ad-free with a one time payment.

I love Sync but it's worth noting some basic features aren't implemented yet like submitting posts.

Wait... are you saying that you can't post using Sync? Wtf.

That is HILARIOUS that we have thousands of Sync simps flooding Lemmy and you can't even make a post with it yet. Gold-tier comedy right there.
