renant,

It looks and feels amazing. Thank you for this!

xtapa,

Looks nice and all, but what are those “Sponsored Content” blocks for? Is there going to be Ads soon?

If you live in the EU then you probably retracted your tracking permission to Google. Apparently this blocks ads in some places.

xtapa,

That’s probably what happened. Ty.

lorkano,

There are ads already, maybe you are using Adguard dns

xtapa,

As another user suggested, I did not accept tracking, so ads do t show, but the space still shows with a default message.

bonnetbee,

Amazing that people are willing to pay for an app that tracks them. And trust a closed source button that says ‘please don’t track me anymore’.

xtapa,

Who are you talking about?

misterzero,

(this comment was made from sync)

scarrtt,

$115 for the Lifetime subscription? You must be fucking joking, I paid $35 last year for the Lifetime subscription to Reddit. The guy has changed probably ~10% of the code base to use a different site’s API, this is just greed. Tis off to Mobilism I go for the cracked version so, cheers

Valthorn,

I hope he makes it so you can restore the old purchase. Right now it says that it can’t find any previous purchases for me, but I also bought lifetime ultra on the reddit app.

scarrtt,

It’s possible, but if he’s suddenly charging $115 for something that was $35 and that also kinda gets you less then he’s not exactly thinking logically. Or maybe he knows something about market forces that I don’t? Charge triple the price and offer “less” and maybe the people will come?

He’s a talented dev and I’ve been a long time supporter but he’s really shitting the bed here

Traverse0528,

Reddit = 60000000 daily active users

Lemmy = maybe somewhere between 50k and 100k daily active users? I feel like that’s being generous

It’s just economies of scale. He’s selling to a much smaller market

scarrtt, (edited )

Yeah, don’t forget about the grueling six weeks of development time too, it’s practically Dickensian

This isn’t a divorce proceedings, a judge hasn’t mandated that I keep Lawrence in the lifestyle that he’s become accustomed to. Not am I responsible for his bottom line, and tripling prices is probably going to hurt him because I assume a lot less people are going to pay it, just because it’s triple the price for a lot less

Plus people who are inclined to get these lifetime subscriptions probably did already in the Reddit app 13 months ago so they’re a little pissed off about that too, I would imagine. And the fact there has been no attempts to offer discounts or whatever. It’s a swizz

I don’t give a shit about $115, it’s easy to make $115. It’s just the principle. $50 might be different? I wouldn’t need to think too long before buying that. Or $50 if you had a Reddit Lifetime subscription maybe

Traverse0528,

Add perpetual maintenance and updates to your list… Just because the framework was already there doesn’t mean there isn’t value in the product and the dev can decide what his time and product are worth. Just don’t buy it and use something free.

  • Traverse0528,

    I don’t think you’ve been making that point based on your statements.

    Virus1x,

    Imagine being this tilted over a dev wanting to make money after realizing he got hosed charging $30 for a lifetime.

    scarrtt,

    I know right? What a cunt. Just pay triple ffs

    lorkano,

    True, pricing seems high considering most of the work was already paid for when it was a reddit client.

    sverit,

    Maybe an unpopular opinion, but 22€ for the ads-free option sounds a bit expensive to me. I bought Sync Pro for reddit for 3€ in 2018.

    David_Granger,

    Same, I actually simply can’t afford that much money right now.

    Valmond,

    If only there were a cheaper app …

    David_Granger,

    Nah, I love Sync, it’s great. I just would have hoped for slightly cheaper prices. I don’t believe that the dev is simply greedy.

  • feedum_sneedson,

    Yeah, what the fuck. I already paid for the old app, what’s with the pricing here.

    Not to mention - that’s just the ad-free option. Sync “Ultra”, which I’m guessing is the equivalent of Pro from before, is now nearly £100 unless I want a subscription.

    People don’t have any money anymore, or at least I don’t. Can’t believe I’ve been priced out of the app market and the dating market, fuck me I guess. Or don’t.

    David_Granger,

    Nah, Sync Ultra isn’t the equivalent, it already existed in the old app, but was 35 €.

    feedum_sneedson,

    That’s the one I bought, in that case. And not long before the API bullshit. So that was a good use of my money.

    godless,

    Lemmy Ultra = Sync Ultra

    Lemmy Adfree = Sync Pro

    The old app was simply too cheap, that’s that. One-off purchases for $2 are hardly sustainable for individual developers.

    feedum_sneedson,

    I agree, but I think this is too far in the other direction.

    knightry,

    If you feel you’re being priced out of the dating market, you really need to consider more cost efficient date options. Public parks, hiking, lots of museums have free or discounted days, beaches or lakes, you can cook a meal for your date which is both a Chad move and cost effective, Even Netflix and chill is pretty cheap. Not every date has to be an expensive restaurant or movie outing. Hell, putt putt golf is cheap if you and your date like somewhat corny. I know I do.

    MrGerrit,

    There is a one time 20 dollar purchase option for the pro version. Ultra just has some extra perks if you like.

    joedinkle,

    Feels like home.

    I can comment but I can’t make a new post… Huh. I guess that’ll come soon?

    Valmond,

    You need the premium version for that.

    \s ;-)

    godless,

    Yep it’s still a beta, that will be coming soon.

    CamelCase,

    Font seems a bit too small. Is there a way to increase font size?

    Biff,

    Settings > General > Base font size

    calhoon2005,
    @calhoon2005@aussie.zone avatar

    Most definitely. Have a look at settings/content. There’s lots of options.

    Coelacanth,
    @Coelacanth@feddit.nu avatar

    Is there a setting to increase font of replies you’re typing? I haven’t found it and it feels small to me while proofreading what I’ve typed/editing long posts.

    CamelCase,

    OK. Found it

    Wow I can’t believe how much smoother Sync is than other Lemmy clients!

    Feel just like sync for Reddit :D

    Thank you!

    On another note will there be the option to purchase sync like it was for sync for Reddit?

    Valmond,

    I tried it out and it was just more hassle (setups for each account, where the heck do you sign in…) and super slow if you want to use one account on one instance posting on another, …

    There is more ‘things’ but for me it just clutters up the UI.

    Also ROFL the pricing lol, a good example of adding crap and have you pay to remove it, and ofc a subscription mode wtf.

    It’s not like there aren’t any completely free, no ads, front ends out there either.

    CurlyMoustache,

    I was using Jerboa before trying Sync. Jerboa was a hot mess. Got logged out randomly, and got network error messages all the time

    richieadler,

    I didn’t have your problems, but the look in Jerboa and Thunder after using Sync is… just wrong.

    hodgepodgehomonculus,

    I’m using Connect on Android and it’s been pretty flawless. Until I see a reason to swap, or a less insane paid version I’ll just keep using this.

    CurlyMoustache,

    I block ads via DNS. Perhaps I will pay for the app if Lemmy pans out

    Borkingheck,

    Why is everyone excited about sync…was it something before?

    scarrtt,

    Was definitely the best Reddit app. Very polished with tons of great features and regular updates and communication from the dev. Was my favourite app in general, not just my fav Reddit app

    ljdawson,
    @ljdawson@lemmy.world avatar

    Was a popular 3P Reddit app.

    zikk_transport2,

    That means the developer has required experience of many years to understand what is a good app.

    PreciousDeclaration,

    Yes, Sync for Reddit was a very popular 3rd party Reddit app for many years. I used it for quite a while and it really made using Reddit a lot more enjoyable. It was a great app, just like Sync for Lemmy is now.

    20watts,

    App that has the best ux/ui for reddit

    Borkingheck,

    Thought it might have been. I was using Joey and enjoyed that experience. A massive improvement over Reddit’s app, and never felt the need to shop around after it.

    pythoneer,

    Thank you 😊 now lemmy will be much more pleasure to use!

    jrdn,

    So glad this is now available, been hesitant to try out Lemmy but glad I finally took the leap

    kaspavicius,

    This must be the most upvoted post on Lemmy

    Mr_Blott,
    feedum_sneedson,

    too true

    Quindius,

    Yeah, but you can do one time purchases for Sync

    Guster,

    White-mode ew

    Mr_Blott,

    Are you 12?

    Luvs2Spuj,

    Juicy. We will watch your career with great interest
