In this day and age it’s more likely that you don’t have voice minutes or SMS quota remaining than you not having internet access.

Exactly 8 upvotes to your comment… Let’s leave it that way.

Hard disagree. iOS UI/UX is sub par compared to Android. Consistent visuals and fancier animations don’t mean that the UI is good.

Non-competes are illegal in California and should be illegal everywhere else too.

That isn’t a good justification to me.

You want developers who spent years studying design and development, to spend months developing an app, to just give that app away for free?

People like you are why more and more developers join big corporations for salaried position rather than trying to make it by themselves in the indie scene. Because they know they can’t make it in the indie scene because you are too cheap to pay for their apps (either by buying the app, or by consenting to see ads)

If your app can’t exist without ads then I don’t believe it should exist at all.

Sync for Lemmy exists as a paid, ad-free version. The ad-supported version only exists for people who don’t want to, or can’t, buy the app.

Thanks a lot! You’re the best. 🤘🏻

Any plans to bring the previous hide posts behaviour where the hidden posts reappeared upon refresh? The new behaviour has ruined Sync for me and many other users.

Yeahhhh. The current behavior is not how I use the hidden posts feature. It was perfect before and now it’s ruined how I use the feature.

Stab them in the eye with a pin?

I don’t think Lemmy search works for anything but communities. You’re trying to use the search to look for a user profile.

It’s just plain better than any other alternative. Better UI, better UX, better features, better customization, support for Monet… I could go on all day.

This made me laugh more than it should’ve.

Super reasonable pricing in Sri Lanka. Will upgrade to Ultra Lifetime once (or if) you localise that. Keep being amazing and doing amazing work LJ! You rock.

Sri Lanka, please. And thank you for your hard work. Seeing your Sync for Lemmy announcement in-app in Sync for Reddit is the reason I joined Lemmy.

I was switching between Voyager, Infinity and Thunder until Sync got released. None of those even come close to the User Experience of Sync. It’s not even the bugs, it’s the interface and the UX.

Literally zero FOSS apps that are even half as good as Sync.

Splurging $20 on a Lemmy app with my country’s currency devaluation is not going to work for me. Nothing against you or the app, the app is amazing and leagues ahead of the competition. But I’m not even sure if Lemmy will be the replacement for Reddit and how it’ll all pan out after the hype wears off, so I’m going to wait for regional pricing for this one.

I understand that it’s new, and it is definitely the best FOSS Lemmy app out of the dozens that I used. But it has a very long way to go to achieve the same level of User Experience that Sync has. It’s not even close and I don’t think anything bar a major UI/UX rehaul could fix that.

I was using Thunder last week until Sync’s open beta got approved and the User Experience and the interface of Thunder is nowhere near Sync. It’s a night and day difference, and a difference that would have made me use Lemmy less and less.

ITT, bunch of people who have never used Sync for Reddit whining about Sync Ultra and the app having ads. 🤦🏻‍♂️
