      Agreed. I would love an option for a one time purchase. I can’t do any more subscriptions, it’s already hard to keep track of the few that I do have.

      I’m hoping there is a one time and subscription option. I’m comfortable with my finances now to afford a subscription and I would like to help the devs continue to develop and improve the app. Sync for Lemmy will probably have a smaller userbase so they might need the extra bucks.

    the app feels really premium than any lemmy app I tried but the ads are a deal breaker for me. I would definitely consider purchasing it to support the developer but I can’t pay monthly just to browse lemmy. Sticking with voyager for now

      Dawson has said that he is currently working on a one time and removal option, so you probably won’t have to wait too long.

      I’ve been waiting for sync to be ready on lemmy and installed it as soon as it was. I got an ad preferences thingy and thought “fuck it, the guy got sync of the ground for lemmy in just a few weeks” worth £15.99 for the annual sub to ultra IMHO. Been using sync pro on reddit for years of the back of a tiny one of purchase. I figure for the hours I used it, he deserves more than I paid and I’m more than grateful that sync is back.

      Can I ask where you’re seeing ads? I’m using Sync now, and I haven’t seen any. What sort of ads are showing?

      I’m using Infinity now. I was a sync pro user and the ads, tracking and subscription are a nope to me as well

            I sure hope it will, but there’s no guarantee. This is still a much smaller and quiet different audience than Reddit’s and this might not be worth the effort for ljdawson in the long run. Heck, there were times when he paused development of the Reddit client despite its far larger reach.

            I’m honestly a little shocked by the amount of open hostility he got all over the Fediverse for simply offering a premium/ad-supported/closed-source-client.

            I’m a little hesitant to pull the trigger on this one, 15€ is just a tad over the pain threshold for an app with an unknown future and there’s still Boost to look forward to - I’m waiting to see Boost’s pricing first.

    I am using it right now. Moments ago I was reading a post on a DnD community and had to do a double take, it felt like I was on Reddit, but it was just a bout of nostalgia after years of using Sync for Reddit.

    The familiarity, the gorgeous material UI, but now with 100% less spez!!

    Thank you for bringing Sync to Lemmy Ljdawson!!

      It really is uncanny. I’ve gone back to the official app a handful of times but the experience is so much worse.

      This is a great experience for Lemmy and I hope this will encourage more people to start using the platform.

    It’s like having Reddit back, this is amazing. 🙏

    For as long as I can remember Reddit and Sync have been one and the same. I never used Reddit website or app, only ever used Sync to browse Reddit hosted content. I used it a lot. I’ve missed it a lot.

    Between the Lemmy platform and Sync client, to all intents and purposes what Reddit was has been fully restored/migrated.

    I know it’s early days, but I did not expect to see anything like this so soon and it gives me hope that Lemmy can grow and thrive into the network of people that always made Reddit what it was. Everything that’s needed is there - early, a little rough around the edges, but there. And being improved constantly.

    Hallelujah!

      Sync for reddit was a great 3rd party app for browsing reddit. Since 3rd party apps were ousted from reddit the dev repurposed his app for Lemmy. I’ve been using it today and so far it is fantastic. There are some ads, but at the moment it’s the best Lemmy app on the market as far as UI goes imho.

              yeah if I recall that was created by someone else with LJs blessing to use the sync name/code… so it may or may not be the same to how sync by LJ would be maintained… don’t think anything ever came from that though but as I don’t like IOS, I haven’t really followed it :/

    Posting from sync as well! Works like a charm so far. Only the empty sponsored content block from time to time seems off :D
