Not hating on open source, just let people use what fits their expectations and needs and stop deterring them with gatekeeping :P

UX = user experience

I'm using Sync right now. I've tried a few different lemmy apps and this is the only one that actually works without bugs. Maybe because it's a paid developers full time job and not just some free side project?

I do wish it wasn't a subscription. Apps are generally a flat fee.

    yeah I think I'll go to the ad removal fee. it's expensive but I use it a lot 🤷‍♂️

    I originally did the monthly sub because I didn't have an option and that was the cheapest, it is kinda pricey but it's light years ahead of what I was using

    also I'm a developer and I think the guy who made it has probably working like mad to make this, and if it's his sole income and it got pulled out from under him... idk. it's a gamble to not just go get a 9-5 and work on this instead

    bro has to eat and I already donate to my local instance.

    I love Sync but it's worth noting some basic features aren't implemented yet like submitting posts.

    Dev's built a lot of user trust over the years. He says it's coming within the week. The app JUST released.

    The point is, he's already charging an exorbitant ongoing subscription cost and it isn't even finished. I do not understand you people.

    The guy has run a top reddit app for years. He launched the app in beta so people could use it now rather than wait. I have full faith in him, it's a great app and it's basically a straight port of his reddit app to lemmy.

    Comments like these really show you how much of Reddit has moved over to Lemmy. Annoying toxicity and all.

    Wait until the non-technical reddit exiles learn about defederation and start whipping themselves up into frenzies trying to purge things they mildly disagree with or flat out don't like. Just like the good old days on reddit with banning people for participating in verboten subreddits.

    Keep the worst of reddit and Twitter off lemmy, folks. Plenty of platforms for those types.
