I think now is a great time to remind everyone, like sync's developer, Lemmy's developers need to be paid too! The amount of time all the devs put into making lemmy exist, in my opinion, should be worth some of your money. If you can afford it, donating to the people who develop lemmy and/or the people keeping your home instance up will accelerate the incredible growth of lemmy!

Is it just me or does Sync's pricing seem... Exorbitantly high?

[–] decadentrebel@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It is. The Lemmy instance owners and the devs aren't even making a dime off the platform.

That said, the decision to pay is still ultimately up to the user. If you feel it's too pricey, then there's Liftoff, which is a perfectly fine app in itself. Others are okay with it or even better if regional pricing is launched.

I'm currently running infinity, seems OK... There's still a handful of features I'd like.

I am definitely not going to run Sync with adverts and I'm not paying the amount they're asking, neither am I going to go with subscription based.

If sync halved their ad free version, I'd probably pull the trigger - failing that, I'll eventually just hack up their client and remove the ads myself.
