For starters it's smoother on my phone. I don't think connect supports a faster refresh rate. You can set individual default sort for basically any feed or community. I can have the home feed set for new and all feed set for hot. Way more and I mean WAY MORE customization options. Better working gestures for liking or disliking or bookmarking. Easier to access subscribed communities. Also if you tap on the search bar you'll see commonly browsed communities. For example I check memes but I don't want them on my home feed so I just go to the community. And that's just stuff off the top of my head. I would find more if I installed connect again to do a side by side. Don't get me wrong connect is a great app but sync has been polished through the years and it's shows.
Lol you think lemmy is free. Try actually hosting. Nothing is free. Not lemmy, not mastodon, not kbin. I subscribe to mastodon's patreon and I support my hosts just like I'm paying for sync. Because I want to keep it going. Of course there will be free users, I understand not everyone is as privileged as me but that doesn't mean any of these things are free.
Also one time payment was a form of how sync funded itself. It still had the sync ultra function alongside the pro version.
I can't believe everyone asking for a one time payment option. If you don't want to keep subscribing just get a yearly ultra and then cancel. Support the dev guys. Nothing worth having is free
It basically downloads torrents to their servers so you don't directly download torrents. As another person said you can also use it with the torrentio addon for stremio. It fucking rocks
Imagine thinking people are cheap for not paying for Twitter. I'd rather break 8 dollars into quarters and shove it up my ass before I pay for Twitter.
I love how people online care so much about their privacy and bash on Google and Meta because they want to show them some ads. Apple literally lobbied against preventing using Uyghur's for forced labor. THEY LITERALLY LOBBIED SO THAT CHINA COULD KEEP MAKING THEIR PHONE USING SLAVES.
