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.
I feel kinda the same I did love Sync Pro on Reddit but I can’t justify the price of the lemmy one.
Connect is getting there the only things I think it’s missing for me personally are editing posts which voyager does so I know it’s possible and a lot of images should show up in line instead of opening the browser.
Connect is getting there
This is it. No other apps had got there yet. Connect and infinity are not as smooth as Sync., e.g. example it can’t load images as fast as Sync. And the UI is cluttered, eg posts views - the look is not just as good. I know it because I’ve tried many these apps to as replacement to Sync. But till now, can’t find any as good (to my taste) as Sync. So I’ll stick with Sync, for now at least.
If you think the very minor differences are worth paying through the nose good on you, Sync is a very good app but to me those prices are absolutely insane.
IF I’M honest I am really not convinced lemmy is even going to replace reddit so trying to charge me 10 times the price to browse it really just pissed me off especially since I paid full price for Reddit Sync pro.
