Never before have I been so excited for a beta app. Thank you Ljdawson!
My only criticism is the subscription fee instead of a one off charge for the full set of features. I would like a lot of them but I don't need cloud sync or another ongoing cost to worry about.
I've just pushed beta 25 which adds the option to remove the ads as a one time purchase.
Hopefully they'll approve the update within the next 24 hours
Does it just remove the ads visualization or actually disables all related data collection and tracking?
<3 can tell you did some on the backend.. smoother than reddit's client
That's great to hear!
Loving it, keep up the good work.
Wow you work fast.
He wrote in another thread there will be a lifetime price for us who hates subscriptions. It's coming.
That's good to know. I bought several Reddit apps over my 15 year history with the site, I don't have a problem supporting developers but I absolutely hate the subscription model. It feels like letting a colony of ticks leech off of you when literally EVERYONE is doing it.
It better be coming within the 20th of August, cause that's when my Google rewards balance is expiring.
He said in another comment in this chain he's submitted the update with the one-time ad removal and is just waiting for approval.
It feels so surreal to be in a newly-budding set of communities with the same UI I fell in love with years ago.
Thank you, LJ!
I wonder why you have a ๐ app recommendation... ๐
It's like having Reddit back, this is amazing. ๐
For as long as I can remember Reddit and Sync have been one and the same. I never used Reddit website or app, only ever used Sync to browse Reddit hosted content. I used it a lot. I've missed it a lot.
Between the Lemmy platform and Sync client, to all intents and purposes what Reddit was has been fully restored/migrated.
I know it's early days, but I did not expect to see anything like this so soon and it gives me hope that Lemmy can grow and thrive into the network of people that always made Reddit what it was. Everything that's needed is there - early, a little rough around the edges, but there. And being improved constantly.
Hallelujah!
So happy to have the sync icon back in its spot on my homescreen! Thanks LJ!!
I feel this so much. First had jerboa there and then liftoff. No shade to either of those but having sync back is just so great.
I'd tried voyager, then connect, and finally had settled on Liftoff. All are great apps especially for how quickly they were published but Sync just feels so much better to me after having used it for years for Reddit. Feels so good to be back!!
Just in time. Reddit killed RIF all the way just now
I was on the verge of abandoning reddit before when I could only use RIF to browse logged out, but now that it's gone for good...goodbye, reddit. I wonder if it'll affect things like reddit traffic at all. Time will tell, I suppose.
My first ๐ฅ comment from Sync for Lemmy
We are so fucking back
The GDPR consent settings is ludicrous. It reads like fucking spyware and I cannot fathom why, someone please explain!
The vendor settings alone is like 300 different vendors all with their own preselected consent button, ffs!
You are just being made aware of how many vendors your data will be shared with by default.
Never used sync before. Must be a reason people are so excited
Literally the first thread I reply to on the app.
Feels so good to be back!
Yeah...this is what I wanted...
Installed and subscribed!
Subscribed for Ultra immediately. ๐๐

Commenting from Sync, with paid ultra as basically my 3rd click in the app before all else.
THE WORLD IS HEALING
Oh... You've unleashed The Flood...
Awesome.. Only need a replay for Lemmy now.๐
I love it
I already have the Sync Ultra thing. Pretty damn nice.
I feel like im back home after a long trip
This is my first time using Sync. I bounced around different reddit apps back before the shit hit the fan but never tried Sync. I have to say. Im impressed. It's so much more stable than Jerboa.
Let's keep him caffeinated!
It's seem that posting is still not available yet, how did you post this? or am I missing something?
Just the thing I've been waiting for. We are so back.
We're back, baby! Immediately resubscribed to Ultra.
Charge your phone!
Gogogoooooo!
oooh sweeeeet momma
