Honesty I still prefer Liftoff, it’s lighter and feels more like RIF.
How does it compare to Connect for lemmy ?

I’m in!!!
It’s good to be home :)
ITT, bunch of people who have never used Sync for Reddit whining about Sync Ultra and the app having ads. 🤦🏻♂️
I used sync for reddit for a decade. No way in hell I’m paying $20 for the ad-free upgrade. Explain how lemmy which is months old and a minute fraction of the size of reddit, should cost me more to browse ad-free than reddit? It’s mind boggling that we’re in the age where asking $20 for a 3rd party social media app is being defended as reasonable.
The ads through me for a sec, but then I realized this wasn’t the Dev or Pro version.
I’ll end up subscribing at some point, but I do wish there was a one time option like last time. Not really interested in the cloud backups and all that, just the ad free experience.Edit: Spoke too soon. Looks like there wil be a one time option at some point in addition to a version with no ads. Looking forward to it.
I haven’t seen any ads yet. Where are they
It’s not about the app. It has nothing to do with the app itself to be fair. It’s the fact to have ads. Ads aren’t the spirit and the philosophy of Lemmy.
People are fine to pay for the app. Money isn’t the issue either. The dev should not assume Lemmy is a new Reddit. It’s different with different spirit and philosophy. This point has to be taken in consideration.
That’s the beauty of have a multitude of different apps. You choose the one that feels right for you. Much like how you can choose another Lemmy instance.
Yes, sure, you can choose whatever you want. It doesn’t make my opinion wrong. It’s not in the philosophy of the fediverse. People can use it with an ads tracked app of they want. I respect it.
It’s a hard no for me and I will express it. It could be a hard yes if they will be a one time payment version without free ads base one.
I don’t think your opinion is wrong. It’s an opinion, and that’s fine.
As a developer myself, I do understand that the dev wants to be compensated for all the hours he puts in, but I am also aware that we’re all using software everyday in many different ways that are made in the free time of many people, without any compensation. Both are valid.
One time payment update was just pushed out!
The Dev has just announced he’s pushed beta version 25 that adds a one time payment option.
The dev said there already will be. I hope you’ll support a hard working, singular dev who puts a lot of work into an app and engages with its users like LJD.
You can choose whatever app fits you. That is the power of choice. Some of us are really ok with non intrusive ads or paying for the app. He said that one time payment for removing ads will come soon.
Ads aren’t the spirit and the philosophy of Lemmy
Says who? I’m just curious who decides what Lemmy’s philosophy is. Does that philosophy extend across all instances or only specific ones? Or is it baked into the source code somehow?
Personally I think ads are alright. But that’s just my philosophy.
The most common gesture I’ve been missing up to this point is swipe to hide. Now it’s back and I’m so happy!
Order of priority of paying for stuff
- Donate to the lemmy instance you’re using if possible. They are bearing the brunt of the costs for you to have access to the threadiverse
- Donate to the lemmy developers.
- Donate or buy the frontend of your choice.
The return of the king 😎
Loving the Foss spirit of Lemmy so far reading the comments
Yeah proud of my fellow users
Omg the feels
Used your reddit app so now I’ll use your lemmy app

Looks like the Dev is looking to add a lifetime option and an option to remove ads in the future.
it’s already there. ‘remove ads’ button. steep given you can get Microsoft Office for that price if you look hard enough but I will probably get it.
I was wondering what was up with the ads consent things. The reason I switched to Sync in the first place was to get rid of ads on Reddit…
Beta update released within the last hour adds the option for lifetime ad removal.
Where? I can’t see it in the Ultra section??
Update
Found it.
£12.99
The option is available by clicking your profile icon and selecting ‘remove ads’.
£13??
Mine is $20 for the remove ads option, how does that make sense?
It increased 50% overnight.
Man it’s good to have sync back. Now lets make Lemmy greater!
