They're welcome to use whatever other app they want, or deal with ads. Options abound. I seriously doubt the sync for lemmy dev is swimming in cash. We're not talking about shoveling money at a company like reddit, we're talking about supporting a solitary, highly trusted dev who's worked hard to create a great app.

Okay, people who can't afford two dollars per month to pay for something that they use every day are welcome to use another app, or deal with occasional ads. That's the thing, there's a variety of different app choices. The bitching comes off as "I love this app but I want to use it without paying for it or dealing with ads" more than anything else.

Dev's built a lot of user trust over the years. He says it's coming within the week. The app JUST released.

Which open source app do you feel is just as slick as sync? Genuine question. I'd be happy to support a FOSS app, but all that I found had weird issues and quirks, and/or janky UI. Liftoff was the best I'd found but again, buggy and janky.

The amount of bitching I've seen on Lemmy over paying the developer for their hard work has been insane. I was happy to pay the measly fee for ultra. This isn't in response to you, just the general vibe I've seen here. I thought we had a more tech-minded space where people might understand the need to monetize these things, but that doesn't seem to be the case lol

Sync is far superior to the other apps so far, even with some features missing in the beta. I was using Liftoff, which is good, but not even close to the polish of sync.

I only saw monthly and yearly pricing?

I'm a huge FOSS guy. I'd support any of the FOSS apps if they were anywhere close to as good and polished as Sync already is. Sorry.

LOL this is great, the grassy windows XP wallpaper is in my rotation!

I have a bunch of default wallpapers from windows and MacOS on shuffle in my KDE setup. I'm pretty amused with it, in my own dorky way.

Right? 7 years now I've been hearing "oooh he's really in trouble this time!" I'm so tired of it.

I probably started roughly in 2013. I was already pretty tired of the site. It's been a shell of what it was for quite a while. This was the last straw for me to go to the effort of finding something else.

Completely disagree, though I don't like dark chocolate all that much either. Upvoted.

Meh, that's what I figured/was afraid of. Thanks for the response anywho

We'll miss your lurking, I guess

...what?

Test

Was using Jerboa, I like Liftoff better. But I'll be moving to Lemmy Sync as soon as that's available.
