I can't believe everyone asking for a one time payment option. If you don't want to keep subscribing just get a yearly ultra and then cancel. Support the dev guys. Nothing worth having is free
...Lemmy is free.
Also the one time payment model was how sync funded itself until now.
Lemmy has the illusion of being free IMO, our donations keep the cloud clouding and the devs devving ๐ซฃ
Lol you think lemmy is free. Try actually hosting. Nothing is free. Not lemmy, not mastodon, not kbin. I subscribe to mastodon's patreon and I support my hosts just like I'm paying for sync. Because I want to keep it going. Of course there will be free users, I understand not everyone is as privileged as me but that doesn't mean any of these things are free.
Also one time payment was a form of how sync funded itself. It still had the sync ultra function alongside the pro version.
Nothing worth having is free
I beg to differ. I'm using Connect and its free and it's fantastic, w/ no ads
I used to have connect before sync. It's a great app but nowhere close bro.
Yeah? I'm legitimately interested. Mind telling me what you like about it more than Connect?
For starters it's smoother on my phone. I don't think connect supports a faster refresh rate. You can set individual default sort for basically any feed or community. I can have the home feed set for new and all feed set for hot. Way more and I mean WAY MORE customization options. Better working gestures for liking or disliking or bookmarking. Easier to access subscribed communities. Also if you tap on the search bar you'll see commonly browsed communities. For example I check memes but I don't want them on my home feed so I just go to the community. And that's just stuff off the top of my head. I would find more if I installed connect again to do a side by side. Don't get me wrong connect is a great app but sync has been polished through the years and it's shows.
Thank you very much. I'm going to go check it out.
I already paid for Sync for Reddit. Now, to not have ads, it costs considerably more than I paid for, on a client to a service that has no ads or a monetized API.
