The developer worked his ass off to repurpose his app to Lemmy for us.
I was more than happy to pay for his time. Hard work deserves reward. If people aren't going to pay him and use the free version, which you're welcome to, then he makes his money from ads (which pay fuck-all)
You're just a bunch of cheapskates who want to be entertained for nothing.
All the self righteousness of lemmy is strange.
There's not just better opinions, even small decisions are morally imbued and if someone steps out of line...
Wait, does using sync cause hurricanes? Earthquakes? Will the four big ponies of the lempocalypse arrive and snort angrily?
Otherwise, I get that a surge of people elated they have something you don't/can't have is off putting. FOMO is real.
But it doesn't need all the meme-shade.
I'll repeat what I said in several other threads at this point:
I loved the old app, I still love the new app, it’s a pleasure to use compared to the alternatives I’ve tried, and I find the ultra subscription rate both reasonable and worthwhile to support a product I truly enjoy.
Sync is good for me. There’s plenty of other options if it’s not good for you.
Connect seems good enough to me
Or jerboa, I use that right now
look i dont got much money in the bank but people need to start donating to foss creators cause it's getting dumb, musescore sold out to ultimate guitar and theyre going to shit cause guess what? no one gave money. the linux distro im using is ome of the biggest jn the world and it barely scrapes 1000 usd a month. when i get a job i'll start giving money but people seriously need to chip in, im not mad at sync at all i get it
I don't even understand this headlong rush for an app. And especially being so desperate for an app that you'd use one that embeds ads unless you pay to remove them.
It just seems completely backwards to me.
With Reddit, it made sense - it was awful in a mobile browser, the official app was complete garbage, and either way it was buried in ads So you could (and I did) use a third party app and get a cleaner and more useful interface and no ads.
But Lemmy's already fine in a browser and it's ad-free. So what's the point?
I could maybe see, somewhere down the road when the apps are complete and established, it might be interesting to experiment with some and maybe find one that's got just the features I like most. But that's not what I'm seeing. What I'm seeing are people desperately clamoring for an app - any app - it doesn't matter how primitive and janky it is - they just desperately need to have an app right now, today, this instant. As if lemmy is completely unusable without one.
And it's just... not that way at all. Sure, it could be better, but it's fine.
So I just don't get it.
I can't stand the web app. Sync is fantastic!
Cool. I find it well worth it though, and LJ is working on regional pricing now.

It's open source and works very well.
I just use jerboa and donate $10 a month to the lemmy devs
Infinity is goated!
I set it to amoled and changed the main color to something that's not bright in your face red/pink(too bright, esp when it's late at night)
Just here waiting for boost for lemmy!
Connect is free and pretty awesome overall
I just use thunder, it's open source.
Use liftoff
I actually have no good enough reason to switch to an app, the web app is more than good although text formatting doesn't work probably using Firefox but it works using nu.lemdro.id which lacks the option to easily use and format text
i really appreciate the vibrant healthy competition considering where we are on the growth curve. is there a feature comparison spreadsheet somewhere? what features should there be in a year?
People were so hyped about apps that hadn't been released and I hadn't even heard of. I found it super weird, so this is funny.
Idk, I used Apollo for r*ddit and use Wefwef for Lemmy. I'm doing okay
Such a let down... Connect is working great and it's free!
There's a lot of free open source alternatives :)
I heard that regional pricing will be available after a few days.
Like people doesn't use Office...
I may be outing an unintended oversight here but list view does not show those. I see what you're talking about in the card view however.
Sync was garbage for Reddit anyway, I don't know why people were so hyped for the worst third party app to move over here. Connect is great as it is.
Proprietary cringe
