Same here. Already the best Lemmy app.
Even tho I hate subscription models, I also got a subscription till there's a pro version with one time purchase.
Is this what replaced sync pro?
I don't know what sync is, but what feature is it offering that justifies the payment?
Echoing the other comment, I came from reddit and Sync was the only way I knew that site. Used Sync for about 7 years. I like LJ as a dev, I appreciate the way he interacts with the community, and I love the app. For me it's a no-brainer to give him support because I use his product as much as I do.
For features: incredibly customizable material design. Extremely fluid. A lot of view customization. Comment drafts are something I missed on voyager.
Paid exclusive features: Cloud backups, user specific highlighting and theming, pull text from images, translate text, saved post folders (coming soon). No ads (yes the other apps don't have ads and are generally free).
Same. I just spent 45 minutes looking through all the Ultra settings. I can't believe this was developed in a month.
Helps when you already have a polished so that pointed to reddit instead of lemmy. I don't expect such a well made app to come out in a month.
Iโm interested in this too. What makes it better than voyager?
Most of us come from the reddit app, it just has a clean and good setup with great settings. The subscription is mostly to support LJD, on Reddit it allowed for cloud backups of settings and reddit specific features.
I bought it and other than removing ads I don't even know. I just want to support the dev
Is there a lemmy or reddit app that ever served ads (Other than the official reddit app)? I thought that was one of the reasons for reddit killing 3rd party apps - they couldn't push ads?
Already renewed mine! Thanks LJD
This may seem like the stupidest question ever, but where's the "post" button? If I click on "submit" in actions, it says "coming soon". And I know this is just a beta, but I need the almighty "block" option, too.
Good to take note of not being able to post yet. I did spot a block button near the top when you enter a community. So maybe it's there for now before becoming an extra option.
One thing that's completely new to me is the ability to turn on holding on a post and it opens it IN THE BACKGROUND so you can multi-task! Sick!
