Or pay the dude a couple dollars to disable any tracking and remove ads for life?

Why are you FOSS nerds so against paying people for their work?

For what itā€™s worth, I donā€™t get any ads in this App, so give it a shot.

I liked Liftoff, but as a Boost diehard, Iā€™m happy to give the guy a couple bucks and pay him more than he would ever make from ads served to me. No skin off my nose.

People want to get paid for their work? Shocking!

And other people donā€™t want nagging spyware ads? SHOCKING! You know, Twitter and Reddit developers also want to get paid. Thatā€™s why they killed free API access. Funny how you came to Lemmy anywayā€¦

Thatā€™s Googleā€™s fault, not the devā€™s. Heā€™s just trying to make a living.

Comparing a solo dev to large corporations isnā€™t really convincing me.

Itā€™s not for everyone for sure especially if youā€™re looking for something FOSS. Iā€™d rather use a FOSS app, but it was my Reddit app of choice for a really long time and Iā€™m happy to give the developer a one-time $3.50 purchase to have that experience back. I can barely tell Iā€™m not on Reddit.

Even if itā€™s just a stopgap solution, Iā€™m all for Reddit app developers porting to Lemmy. Right now the open-source Lemmy apps all lack a lot of polish, so having paid options that offers a more polished experience for people coming over from Reddit is a plus for the platformā€™s engagement as a whole.

Donate to the FOSS apps instead then.

Nice, but seems to lack swipe actions, otherwise I like it almost as much as Sync.

Yes it is, Iā€™m commenting on it right now. You can import all your app settings from the Reddit version of the app too, if you still have it installed, or you still have your config file lying around. Itā€™s what I have done so I have a pitch black theme lol.
