It's so nice to see them all growing, but this is just the truth, sorry.

https://codeberg.org/Bazsalanszky/Infinity-For-Lemmy APK is in the releases tab, works surprisingly well given how new it is.

I mean I imagine that a large portion of it just got moved over from the reddit version no? or different dev?

Different dev, same codebase I believe. Still some vestigial parts of reddit in it.

Love Memmy. It just works so good.

Oh hey, we appreciating Memmy over here?

Memmy is literally the reason I opted into the fediverse, such a beautiful UX/UI in this app! It feels like a true successor to Apollo.

I love over wefwef becuase that felt like a carbon copy of Apollo which I love but felt cheap

I’m really enjoying how Memmy takes heavy inspiration from Apollo but also takes it in its own direction

Interesting. Maybe at the beginning, when I first used it it felt not as good. But now it feels as snappy to me as Apollo ever was. https://vger.app I mean FKA Wefwef

Deleted the half dozen other apps I had for all my Lemmy accts. Now I have just 1 app to rule them all.

Yep. All other apps got deleted. I get the whole foss thing but sync is god tier ill pay for every day.

They’ve released the lifetime price if you’re interested for $170

Yep. And if this app turns bad after a while for whatever reason, we can always go back to the FOSS alternatives.

Yeah this comic is hilarious but sync is just so slick. Thunder has promise though.

Really enjoying Thunder, hoping it keeps gaining features.

I love sync too, but the price is crazy. In 2014 I bought reddit sync for like $5, and now lemmy sync lifetime price is $135. I’ll stick with Connect.

I only saw monthly and yearly pricing?

There’s an option to pay for a lifetime ad-free experience or a lifetime license for Sync Ultra. I found it by clicking the profile switcher in the upper left and seeing a “Remove Ads” button. Still haven’t pulled the trigger on purchasing it yet though.

That’s the price for ultra lifetime. Ad remover one time purchase is $20

I didn’t see that option at first. It’s actually quite reasonable, I think I will use that.

I hope this was the right order of first releases.

There was something that just felt wrong about the sync app thread in one of the lemmy.world communities. Just post after post of “yay, it’s like having reddit back again.” Reddit can fuck off. I like the novelty and slight roughness around the edges.

I’m with you. There are a few terrific apps that were born here on Lemmy. Thunder, Connect and Summit are current favorites. Even though there was a time when Sync was my jam, I plan to stick with the locals.

It’s more having a familiar app back, the look and feel of it all it’s so familiar to me that it’s great to have back. And it feels better than liftoff in my opinion

It’s worth twenty dollars to not see ads that don’t exist in the first place?

It’s worth introducing capitalism to the fediverse?

Are we not free to decide which software we use? If so, then your question can only be answered individually.

Your second question confuses me a little. There is nothing inherently pro or anti capitalist about the tech, especially in light of the first point.

Value is subjective, but I do consider worth it to fund LJ’s work on the app.
He has been working on Sync for years full time, which is why Sync was/is one of the most polished and frequently updated apps out there. If there’s a small price to pay for it, so be it, the guy has to eat.

Schrödinger’s Ads

It’s worth twenty dollars to not see ads that don’t exist in the first place?

To me, yes. I spent a decade on sync pro for reddit, so it wasn’t even a thought. Others don’t have to feel the same way or use it.

It’s worth introducing capitalism to the fediverse?

I like the dev. I like supporting the dev to continue improving an app I like.

So developers shouldn’t be allowed to make money for the time and effort they put in to making apps?

As a developer myself, yes. There’s nothing wrong with a dev of an awesome app to make some bucks, and no, it’s not the same as reddit, you know who gets the ad money there, here is straight to the guy developing the app. If I don’t feel like paying, I can always move to another app.

It’s worth twenty dollars for a better experience with more polish than any other app. No question.

I don’t think a person selling an app is capitalism. There’s no means of production, there’s no apparent attempt to appropriate and profit from stuff that rightly belongs to the people who actually made it. Unless Sync is actually written by a bunch of people who are not getting ownership of the project?

That’s the exciting thing about new types of open architectures, you have numerous people putting their ideas into the space. Instead of being tied down to one way to do things, you’re allowed to experiment and maybe even see crossover of some features.

Jesus y’all are rude. Obviously he meant he can interact with the app in the same way he used to (via sync). When you’ve equated an app with a service for so long you will tend to say things like that. No need to get all elitist about it.

I don’t want Reddit’s ads shoved down my throat and I don’t want a third party app’s neither. Not having an option to unlock ads permanently is a deal breaker for me. The developer just comes across as greedy tbh

You can permanently disable ads now.

You refusing to pay for services you use comes across as greedy tbh

Viewing ads is a form of payment. Deal with it, dude, or don’t use it. It’s not hard.

Subscriptions bad, one off purchases good!

To you old people angry at changes: is it illegal to enjoy stuff? Is it not good that Lemmy attracts people from reddit? This sounds to me like good old conservatism. Also if Sync dev turns into a capitalist pro slavery billionaire, Lemmy should be the place to welcome refugees.

As an old person with opinions:

What’s wrong with people sharing their opinions on a social media site? It’s what we’re all here for. If you’re annoyed that so many different people have this opinion, well… Here we are. Sometimes discussion is one-sided and sometimes it’s not.

Exactly. Glad we agree.

I get you, but you have to admit Sync for Lemmy is gonna make the transition from r3ddit sooo easy for so many people.

There’s a difference between “unpolished” and “can’t keep what posts ought to be on the page straight”. Like Ruby on Rails can get that right 100% of the time out of the box before you write any code, I don’t know how Lemmy’s web UI manages to do it wrong.

Rules:

Be civil and nice.
Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
