Hey everyone. Happy to finally get this out, it’s been one busy month.

I’m looking to add a lifetime option for ultra & option to just remove ads. Keep in mind this is the first release, lots more to follow.

Cheers!

My excitement is tempered by two things, the ultra cost being a subscription (I get the “why” I just hate more subscriptions) and also the pretty crappy targeted adverts “consent” whereby you have to scroll through page after page of third party vendors to turn off the “legitimate” interest which is, let’s be honest their way around consent by just ignoring what you want. That’s put me right off in all honesty sorry.

Oh my god it’s beautiful. It’s so beautiful.

Oh and please note that bugs should be reported in #sync-support-and-bugs in the discord: https://discord.gg/qYWxqva or the github.

LJ has been working very hard - this is beta 24 from no betas a week ago.

And again, it is a beta - some features like Ad-free IAP and submissions are not there, but they will be in there eventually.

Game. Changer.

I live my life as FOSS-y as possible.

This is the only subscription that I have. $2/mo or $16/yr is not even a blip on most people’s radar.

The OG Sync was the most used app on my phone and tablet.

So download, enjoy, and pay the dev! He’s phenomenal, approachable, and transparent. This isn’t some Flappy Birds knockoff. This is a polished app that allows us to connect with one another more easily. And I’d like to see what features he comes up with next.

It takes a lot for me to trust an app/dev this much. Hopefully everybody else will too and we can help him do even more neat things.

Please consider offering a one-time purchase option for certain version milestones, maybe hosted on patreon or something if you need.

I don’t mind paying to support development, I do mind subscriptions unfortunately.

First order of businesses.

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!

What the hell, this is so impressive. I’m blown away! Did not expect this kind of experience this fast!

It’s a nice app mostly but there’s a few things stopping me from loving it currently

• No lifetime license, I refuse to use a subscription service
• list view mode doesn’t have the option to have buttons enabled and always showing
• can’t disable auto hide of comment actions
• No way to hide viewed posts
• can’t highlight and copy text from a comment It just hides content instead (like why?) Only option is to copy all text from a comment but I don’t want to copy all just a small selection…
• No option for top bar, only bottom and side

I feel so at home in this app!

Posting from sync, let’s go!

I’ve only had a brief look, but is there a way to pay for pro (but not ultra) so I can remove ads?

IT FEELS SO GOOD TO BE HOME

Commenting from Sync! I feel back at home.
