As a software engineer I find it miraculous the amount of people that whine about somebody wanting to get paid for putting weeks, months, and years of their life into a product 100s of thousands of people CHOOSE to use.
Have been using the Sync reddit app daily for years after paying a couple of quid to remove ads whenever I did that. Felt like a steal then and expensive now so, on balance, I'm comfortable having paid the ad randsome. I feel better knowing it all goes to the developer for his personal efforts.
And it's a very high quality app, to boot. I've been a mobile software engineer for more than a decade and this level of polish doesn't just happen by accident
Same. I'm very grateful for the FOSS options, they're like a public option. They create a baseline that paid apps have to surpass, but there's nothing wrong with devs getting paid for their work and that payment shouldn't have to be at the whims of donations. I view it as more choice and more choice is good. This is a small dev on an open platform that can't lock out FOSS options. It's not a mega corp building a monopoly. Sync is not hurting anyone by being a paid option.
The way i look at is if you give me a good app(sync) with good functionality and a nice ui I don't mind seeing ad's or throwing some money the devs way.
My big issue with the reddit app was there was no equivalent exchange going on i had a shitty app with awful ui that was buggy slow showed me adds and tracked my data I didn't get anything from that so I had to stop.
Can't we just be happy that we're not on Reddit instead of fighting over which UI we prefer!?
Maybe the real Reddit was the arguments with friends we made along the way
Aw that's sweet
Fuck you
I feel at home <3
Aww I missed the wholesome Reddit moments.
Many of us left reddit due to which ~~AI~~ UI we prefer. So I can see why this happens now.
My reply to all the naysayers:
Thanks for making Lemmy feel like home, it wouldn't without you!
The reality is it's a free world, regardless of what morality you put on things there are going to be things that happen that you don't like. That's life.
Like it or not Lemmy has had explosive growth because of apps like Sync. Because of them being killed off by Reddit. If it weren't for the drama of Reddit doing that, I and millions of other users wouldn't be here right now as we'd still be on Reddit.
Even people who weren't using the 3rd party apps left Reddit because Reddit's actions left a bad taste in their mouths.
So, morality of one guy charging for his honest work in creating the paid or ad supported app aside, you should be thanking the apps including sync for helping drive so many users to Lemmy.
If you yourself don't want to use a paid app, then that's okay! We're all allowed to respond or react to things how we want, but being incredibly divisive for something that a lot of people wanted and that really is inconsequential is almost universally frowned on.
Just let people do what they want and don't shoot them down for it. More options for browsing Lemmy = more Lemmings = more content.
Much love my dudes! We may disagree on this but we agree on many many many more things I'm sure, just because we're on Lemmy instead of Reddit in the first place is proof of that! โ๏ธ
People care too much about which app you use. At the end of the day, as long as you're happy with sync it shouldn't matter
Remember folks whether you choose to use sync or another lemmy app none of us are using reddits shitty mobile app and in that way we are all winners
This to me is the most salient point. I think this initial noise will fade away once the various options are all available.
Honestly I'm using, and especially posting on, Lemmy much more often now that I have sync back.
I had been using Sync for Reddit for so many years that it became muscle memory. Now I have it back and things just feel right.
Jeroba on mobile, web app inside of firefox with adblockers on desktop.
I used Jeroba while I was waiting for sync to come out. Personally it's really no competition, it's great that it is being worked on but Jeroba is significantly worse in every way except for being open source. Hopefully someday it will be great!
Synk is just so polished comparatively everything else feels unfinished
Yeah I feel the same. Used sync for Reddit for YEARS too. I've been using Lemmy way more since Sync launched. I'm happy with it ๐คท.
I personally stopped browsing Reddit once getting sync. It just FEELS right.
Well Im trying out sync and it's honestly such a good and polished app. A big Kudos to the dev. Would probably buy the premium if the pricing goes down.
It's definitely the most polished, snappiest, cleanest Lemmy app atm and I am loving it
Personally, I don't give a flying fuck what client any of you use as long as you are here. :)
$20 to support a solo dev AND remove ads from his awesome lemmy client? Sweet!
Surely we can agree it's better to have too many choices rather than having some greedy piggy ban them all.
One thing I didn't like from Reddit, the elitism and gatekeeping posts from its users. OP, I'm right there with you.
It does seem like a large number of Lemmy users are elitist snobs. I thought this place was turning out better than Reddit, but it's looking like I was wrong. People like that ruin platforms like this and sour the experience.
yeah i just dont care
Gatekeepers are going to be the number 1 threat to lemmy growing
I used sync for years and no matter how many times I tried using other Reddit apps I always went back to using Sync. I was happy to see Sync reborn again as a lemmy client. Yes FOSS is nice but I have no problems supporting LJ even if sync isn't open sourced.
It's not SfR, but it was created in a panic by a dedicated author. It'll get better.
Ohana means family
Sync for Reddit was one of the more popular Reddit apps on Android. (Maybe even the biggest?) Now that Reddit has stopped being reasonable with their API fees, the developer of Sync has been working on a Lemmy client using the same name. It released a couple days ago.
Most of the other Lemmy clients on Android are free and open source, but Sync is closed source and will be ad supported unless users pay a $20 one-time fee to remove ads or pay for a subscription to get some additional features. Because Sync is closed source, there's no way for users to audit what data the app is collecting or sending out.
Many users are using Sync because it's familiar and has a high degree of polish and functionality thanks to being a fork of a very well established app. Its popularity, along with the issues I mentioned above have got a vocal portion of the user base railing against the app and another vocal portion of the user base defending it.
