I paid for no ads and that’s it. I don’t need sync ultra, it’s cheap, but I don’t need it. Ads didn’t bother me, but I had paid before for the reddit app, and the Lemmy one is also great, so I wanted to support the developer.
I bought the ultra/whatever when it first came out. Same justification as others who have purchased it. I use it for hours a day and i used it on reddit. I love the similar feel and the dev is amazing. Worth the money in my eyes but i can appreciate the people that use the free and ad block. You do you
I used to use it with RethinkDNS’s custom DNS so I never had those ads people buy ad-free to get rid of (there are still placeholders which kind of annoyed me). The UI is pretty nice, it also has features Jerboa does not have. Such as advanced searching that can search users and comments as well (this is possible in the web version), or mod tools. There are a few others but I still decided to switch back to Jerboa because FOSS.
Sometimes I use reddit too, and I swear to god the mobile app is so filled with bugs left and right that haven’t been fixed for years. It’s hard to tolerate. Reddit is best in web searches, because there are many relevant discussions. But I’m so glad kagi added a fediverse lens so I can also search Lemmy as I do reddit for relevant discussions. They also have a forum lens and a discussion search mode which is so useful because it searches many other forums and it helps filter out all those useless listicles, websites that copy others and other websites that contain keywords to popular issues just to get traffic.
I pay for the services and apps I care for and I still want to be up, developers need to eat and for the huge corporate bullshit I don’t give a shit about I have adblockers such as DNS66.
I bought Reddit Sync years ago and loved it until Reddit shit itself. Had no issues paying for Lemme Sync. Lemme seemed to lost gas recently and I miss the size off the community Reddit has.
Yeah, I miss the size of the reddit community too. But, I found a silver lining with Lemmy’s community, I still get my fix but since it’s not that big it forced me to reduce my intake and now I’m less addicted and used to just opening the “reddit” app as I used to. But also one thing I found useful is to browse the “top six hours” in everything tab.
I’ve been through all the apps but for me nothing feels as good as Sync. $20 a year for something I use hours every single day is a comically good value considering that’s the cost of Netflix monthly and don’t use it nearly as much.
the time this is valid is not guaranteed to be lifetime.
I bought Sync years ago to support the dev, and they removed and republished their Sync for Reddit app and made everyone repay the ‘one time fee’ to get rid of ads again. Don’t believe for a minute that ‘lifetime’ means anything.
You bought the reddit version, and it was for the lifetime of the reddit app. He had to rebuild the backend from scratch for it to work with Lemmy, it isn’t the same app anymore.
No, you misunderstand. They made me pay for the reddit app twice, hence why they’re not getting another cent out of me and I’m not paying for the lemmy version. I bought Sync for Reddit twice because one day the app was no longer on my phone and there was no ability to restore it, just a newly released version to download that didn’t recognize my previous purchase.
That sounds like an issue with google play store, or perhaps you bought “sync for Reddit pro” (the app) in addition to the “remove ads” (in-app purchase on the free app)
I bought redditsync (what it was initially called before Reddit made everyone rename their apps) for $3-4 and used it for a decade without issue
OH sorry I read your comment too fast lol. For that I used lemmy migrate on GitHub, I have about 5 accounts across different instances and they all have mostly the same communities subscribed. I just go in and resync if I’ve subbed to any new ones lately, and it’ll tell you which ones don’t sync (like if one’s defederated or blocked or something in other instances).
