I agree. Considering the backlash at reddit for nixing third party apps, you'd think people would praise all the options for Lemmy.

The reason I'm on lemmy is I WANT to use weird apps and see different things programmers do. It's like the post is telling me just get taco bell when there's a dude selling Mexican grandma style enchiladas out of a food truck and I can go over that corner restaurant and get some fire chimmi-chanagas.

I like weird stuff. So what about it? God damned people pushing some vanilla boring shit.

Just ignore them? I don't see your point here at all. If you don't want to eat Taco bell, don't eat it???

Right, I'm on a third lemmy app, just saying my 2cents. What's the problem exactly ?

What I find hilarious is that the Sync dev could have simply made a $5/month subscription for the Reddit app and continued on making a fortune from Reddit's product, but instead told people to come here where there are no API costs.............and then starts charging a subscription fee and massive one off payment lol. Oh and the app also has ads if you don't pay, despite Lemmy itself not having ads lol

Just making a living from his great app. Completely fair.

You can get rid of ads with a one-time payment of 19.99$. Not a 'massive one off payment' at all. I have the subscription though cuz I want to support this fastastic app and dev.
