I have no idea why so many people are upset about Sync. There are so many FOSS alternatives. Just... don't use it? It literally doesn't impact you at all.

I’ve been living under a rock, what’s the deal with sync?

[–] poquitocabeza@lemm.ee 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sync for Reddit was a popular app.

After the whole API thing the dev started developing sync for Lemmy.

The open beta was just released.

The free version includes ads.

You can remove ads with a subscription, or with a one time payment of $20.

The Reddit ad free version was like $5, so the price increase pissed some people off.

Also the FOSS or die people got pissed off.

There are many great Lemmy apps, I say just use whatever works best for you.

20$ seems pretty fair to me.

I bought sync for reddit over 10 years ago and used it daily. I had no issue what so ever paying. The app itself is nothing short of top notch quality and you can tell LJ is passionate about his work. He's continously updating the app and making improvements. Hell, you can spend more at a fast food joint vs the single one time payment option.
