Installed already. Posting isn’t available yet.
Finally feels like Reddit! Can’t wait to get pro! Just not subscription please…
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 feel ya. I sprung for ultra since I want to support the developer. Maybe a pro one time payment is coming in the future.
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.
The option just showed up after the most recent update
Where can I find it please ?
On the top left, directly under your account settings
Seen, thanks. Too expensive for me unfortunately (22€ !)
Interesting. For me it’s only 15€ 🤔
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?
Are you in the EU? I was curious and I don’t have ads in Europe.
I’m in Europe and I had ads, but my dns ad blocker blocked them.
Think my DNS is blocking them too, keep seeing comments about ads and I haven’t seen a single one lmao
Same here - but I’m also feeling a little bad about it. Every other app? No problem with ad blocking, but i would actually like to support sync.
I’m in the UK, so (sadly) not the EU anymore… :-(
:'-( Are you seeing ads over there?
Not so far - I’m not even sure where they would be or what type of ad. Full screen? Top banner? Ones that look like posts? Weird!
Oh, yeah theyre meant to be sandwiched between posts. Mines just an empty rectangle with text though
Oh ok, thanks. Not sure why I’m not seeing them. Oh well!
i have them but half of the time is just a gray box. I’m in the EU
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.
I’m using Infinity now. I was a sync pro user and the ads, tracking and subscription are a nope to me as well
Sync Pro is back now. At a bit of a premium, though, 15€ IAP.
Which is okay imo. For that the app will probably be maintained for a long time.
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!
And it’s such a good feeling to know that what happened to Reddit can never happen again!
Commenting works though!
Good stuff!
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!!
Oh god it feels good to be back.
So much better than jerboa
First comment from SFL - Heeell Yeah mawfuggaz 🤘
I don‘t know what sync for lemmy is. And at this point, I‘m afraid to ask!
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.
Thank you! Maybe it‘s worth having a look once it ports over to ios
sync will be android only, same as the reddit version I believe
They was an iOS beta of I remember correctly.
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 :/
Just got it myself. Replying from Sync!
So stoked haha Lemmy has officially embedded itself in my daily browsing
This is definitely my favorite Lemmy client so far!
Only a month and a half using other apps for lemmy has made me forget how great sync is.
Awesome stuff!
So happy to be back to this app
