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 ๐คทโโ๏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.
It's an early beta so far.
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.
bahahaha - all these people ready to hand over their hard-earned and you can't even submit a post?
Dev's built a lot of user trust over the years. He says it's coming within the week. The app JUST released.
The point is, he's already charging an exorbitant ongoing subscription cost and it isn't even finished. I do not understand you people.
Comments like these really show you how much of Reddit has moved over to Lemmy. Annoying toxicity and all.
We may not like it, but this is what progress looks like?
Your account is a day younger than his.
No one is forced to pay
Some people have jobs and can afford to pay for things.
He worked on it, you don't even have to pay to use.
Lol
To be fair, a lot of those people are Reddit refugees that fled to lemmy.world and were fairly removed to begin with. I'm honestly not even sure why they left Reddit to begin with.
