Even that's not ad-free

How have you achieved that?

Ad-free streaming?

These are super sexy changes. Finally we're seeing some progress in Android again.

"Hello" oder "Bonjour"

No

Clozemaster and AnkiCard

They're looking for somewhere that would welcome Andrew Tate style takes.

Welp, this'll last long

Surely that's all the more reason to report the usability issues? The better the app selection quality the better.

The instance is the server. Do you mean community?

What? When you charge a subscription, you're not saying this is for the work done. You're selling the idea that by paying for a subscription users are supporting the work remaining ongoing. Users who paid yearly, got less than half of what they paid for. So sorry, as much as I like LJ, it absolutely does mean they owe you. At the very least they owe you an explanation.

Just gave it a whirl, it feels very unpolished. So many options wouldn't apply until I restarted the app. I couldn't find the option to set New as default. The drawer is too short and using only bottom navigation is clearly an afterthought. Also the font selection is terrible and actually hurts my eyes.

I really doubt he has anywhere close to even a single million in the bank. Though I would be happy for him if he did.

Yeah, Summit is what I'm using too. I prefer the Sync UX, but between missing and broken features, using a working alternative is a no-brainer.

I get that you want to be positive and whatnot and that's fine, but Sync has never been Laurence's fulltime job and it was never intended to be. LJ has a very successful family business which is his priority.

Now I can't talk about what issues he has or hasn't received. But I do know that plenty of people paid to support LJ and Sync and he disappeared on us. This isn't the same as Sync for Reddit where it was a negligible one and done payment, this was a subscription and for some a lifetime license that was paid in good faith and he bailed on everyone just as breaking changes got made to the platform. If you're going to go the subscription route, it's a two way street and the developer has to commit to it too. I'm not even talking about a constant stream of releases, at least keep your customers abreast of what's happening. One year without updates and an app that barely works. it's unacceptable by every metric.

I say all that and it sounds angry and disappointed, but ultimately I just hope he's happy and healthy. If he does ever come back, I hope he can commit to his customers the same way they commit to him.

Made some subtle edits

Pump-and-dump schemes, fraud, ransomware, multi-level marketing, spam, incentivizing selfishness, greed, and general unethical behaviour, buying elections, quasi Nazis creating their own coins, et cetera. In my opinion, over the years the evidence has piled up tall enough to show that traditional currencies are an overal detriment to society.

It therefore surprised me to discover that behind the ♡ donation button on top of most Lemmy instances except for Beehaw, there is an option to donate. This sets a bad example. Thoughts?

Slrpnk.net might be a better fit. But good luck!

On which instance are you trying to create the community?
