Afternoon everyone,

I wanted to go over a few points related to pricing, stats and the roadmap

Pricing

Sync for Lemmy is completely free with ads (the same as Sync for Reddit)
You can remove ads in the account picker or drawer for a one time fee of ~$20
Sync Ultra also removes ads but it's not required
I'll be working on regional prices over the coming weeks

There are now 24k installed users up from 100 the previous day!

I'm going to be spending the next few days going through all of the comments / messages and fixing any crashes.

As always thanks for the support and hope you're liking Sync!

Edit: testing edit

Loving it. I was a longtime user of Reddit Sync, so I'm fully on board the Sync for Lemmy train.

The only thing I've noticed is that after a period of non use perhaps an hour or so, when I launch, it crashes back to my home screen. The only way I can get the app to open is by Clearing all Data then restarting.

Sync was what I needed to use more lemmy! :D I don't know if I'm really used to how it looks and feels but other apps don't do it for me at least.

Thank you for all your work!

Best app for Lemmy that I've tried so far and I'm sticking to it for now. I used Joey on Reddit and I miss 2 features that Joey had that Sync does not.

Full screen media cards - this allows swiping between full screen posts

And filter out posts - with this I could easily scroll only gif/video or just text posts

Would be if the dev could implement these.

I downloaded the free version for now but where are people seeing ads btw? I don't want them obviously but I'm yet to see any lol

They don't seem to work yet, just an empty box that says sponsored content

Hey! Loving the app. One thing I'd appreciate is if it showed what instance you're on under or above the "Everything", "Local", and "Subscribed" text. It can be hard to tell the difference between accounts if I have them themed to look the same! For example,

Everything
lemm.ee

Or something like that

Is there a way to see if your have unread comment replies without going to check the inbox?

Didn't have to think twice to get Sync Ultra lifetime for the amazing value Sync has been in my life the past 10 years. Even paid for previous Sync for Reddit versions. Easy decision. Thanks LJ
