Afternoon everyone,
I wanted to go over a few points related to pricing, stats and the roadmap
Pricing
-
Sync for Lemmy is completely free with ads (the same as Sync for Reddit)
-
You can remove ads in the account picker or drawer for a one time fee of ~$20
-
Sync Ultra also removes ads but it’s not required
-
I’ll be working on regional prices over the coming weeks
There are now 24k installed users up from 100 the previous day!
I’m going to be spending the next few days going through all of the comments / messages and fixing any crashes.
As always thanks for the support and hope you’re liking Sync!

Edit: testing edit
Not full price but it was on sale at times for that cost.
Yep. I stand corrected. $1.01. Just check my payment history in Nov 2012.
edit: and this was full price during the early days, I think.
Someone pointed out the difference in active user counts, too. 2012 Reddit had ~43 million active users. Lemmy has an active user count somewhere around 60-90 thousand.
Point is, if you’re a dev looking to recoup some target cost, you’d be looking at a way smaller and riskier user base than the one that Sync saw on Reddit.
Edit: I didn’t even notice the dev essentially says that here https://lemmy.world/comment/2017279
It’s priced in a way that allows me to work on this full time. If Lemmy suddenly had 10X users I could bring the pricing down.
