I say this as someone that uses FOSS day to day for work, I don't really give a shit if my Lemmy app is FOSS.

For me, Sync was Reddit. It's where 99% of my interaction with Reddit happened. I don't really give a shit about Lemmy or the fediverse either. I'm here because Sync is a seamless product that gave me the best interface.

Despite saying that I don't care about Lemmy or other distributed servers, Sync is basically that sync (lol) for me. Once I map my old subreddits on Lemmy, the experience doesn't change.

This is me too. Sync was how I consumed/participated reddit just the backend - I'm happy in the fediverse if I can use Sync. What we touch and interact with IS the important part. Sync for me and yes it's worth the subscription. Either I'm the product or the consumer. I'll gladly compensate the artist/author to avoid being the product (free is not always free).
