So I tried sync to see what all the rage was. Doesn’t seem that different really from connect imo. I’m posting this with connect since sync can’t seem to do basic functions like post to communities (really?!!) but they made sure to implement big blocks where “sponsored content” will soon be shown. I figured I’d pay a couple bucks because I really can’t stand ads, but then saw its $20! I’m now assuming most of you commie bastards (said lovingly) are secretly trust fund brats? How can this be a viable price point for ad removal? Is sync really making that much from ads that this iis the conversion point? For the die hard fans, what are you getting from sync that you are not from connect? I’m not seeing the allure.
The best thing about Sync for me is being able to have my subscriptions as the default landing page. This app is only going to get better. Worth it to support the dev, who has done amazing work with Sync for Reddit.
You can have that with any app…
You realize that Jerboa has a setting for changing the default landing to be Subscribed communities, right?
I’m all for people enjoying things they want to, but this is a feature of almost every Lemmy client app.
What about the devs that offer that exact same feature in all the Lemmy apps without ads? You want to support someone doing good work? Try throwing those guys $20 as a donation to their app. Who will appreciate that more? Them or the guy that already has one of the most successful ad-based Reddit apps?
