I think now is a great time to remind everyone, like sync’s developer, Lemmy’s developers need to be paid too! The amount of time all the devs put into making lemmy exist, in my opinion, should be worth some of your money. If you can afford it, donating to the people who develop lemmy and/or the people keeping your home instance up will accelerate the incredible growth of lemmy!

Yeah. If you got 100$ to spare you should be giving it lemmy instead of sync.
This is my biggest problem with it. I have no issue with Sync charging. I have an issue with Sync charging and not passing anything on to the developers of Lemmy.
They can get paid, but $20 for lifetime ad removal, and $130+ sync ultra whatever it’s called?
That’s not beer money like another commenter said, that’s fraud and stealing money for barely anything to give for it.
You can’t be serious lol
You know you don’t have to use it right?
He made on of the best Reddit apps ever. Supported his app for like 10 years.
20 is nothing.
Oh yeah $20 is fine albeit a bit too much for ad removal but fine
What I really have gripes with is the $130+ ultra thing. I saw that and noped the fuck outta that app and uninstalled it as quickly as I installed it.
It also doesn’t help that when I bought sync pro it was equivalent to or less than $10 and now he wants $20 for a basic ad removal? He’s greedy.
Dude, you don’t have to buy ultra. It’s for people who want bonus features and support the dev.
This is like refusing to buy a Volkswagen because they also make Lamborghinis
you don’t have to buy ultra
Then don’t put it in the app. Simple as that.
It’s 2023, we’re really debating over pricing in a FOSS Android app that just so happens to host a website/forum that just got popular only because people don’t like the other main big internet forum?
What? Just because you don’t want to pay doesn’t mean no one else does.
Also sync isn’t FOSS
Literally nobody would pay over $100 for an app.
And no but the service is.
Suck it nerd.
Y’all just seething bc others are enjoying things. This is just cringe. This is not a zero sum game. You can donate to lemmy devs/instance devs/fav. app devs and whatever else you like too.
And let’s not pretend this is new. You could see a lot of memmy users being excited about their app too. I don’t know what the hell they are talking about. But I’m glad they have an app they like that much.
Just. Let. People. Enjoy. Things.
