Afternoon everyone,

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


Pricing

  1. Sync for Lemmy is completely free with ads (the same as Sync for Reddit)

  2. You can remove ads in the account picker or drawer for a one time fee of ~$20

  3. Sync Ultra also removes ads but it's not required

  4. 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!

Lj

Took me a while to figure out how to sign in with my lemdro.id account.

Maybe it's embarrassing to admit but I must have scanned through that long list of servers five times before realizing I could just type in my own server. Could be helpful to add a line inviting users to type in their own server.

I did this exact same thing! I kept scrolling up and down thinking I must have missed it somewhere on the list considering lemdro.id is in the Play Store screenshots πŸ˜….

Awesome app! I'd love to swipe from post to post, is there a configurable option for this, that I've missed?

Glad to hear that, until then I don't mind the ads. They don't make me wait to see a post or hindering anything.

A nice feature for us new people would be a way to subscribe to a community from the everything feed as opposed to having to click through to the community page.

Awesome. I subscribed immediately!

There's no clear way to look at all, there's an "everything" but it's not clear if that's classified as "all" like other Lemmy apps

I have sync for Reddit but I won't be paying $130+ CAD for ultra, especially when sync for Reddit cost me less than $10

[–] lotanis@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago

Everything=all but there is a Lemmy oddity here.

Everything shows everything for all the communities subscribed to by anyone on your instance. So it might be different from one instance to another because the users have subscribed to different sets of communities.

It's likely to be a small difference between two big instances (lots of users so most communities will have at least one subscriber), but if you self host an instance it'll be pretty useless.

Hid posts are coming back when I refresh, this a known issue?

Edit: Yup, known issue, found the bug tracker! That's a doozy

I'm seriously impressed with how functional this app is from the start. Like lots of others have said, it felt like coming home given how long I'd used Sync for. Didn't hesitate to pay for the ad free version once that option was added.

I'll repeat what I said in some other thread:

I loved the old app, I still love the new app, it’s a pleasure to use compared to the alternatives I’ve tried, and I find the ultra subscription rate both reasonable and worthwhile to support a product I truly enjoy.

Sync is good for me. There’s plenty of other options if it’s not good for you.

Please keep up the good work!

It really is tempting to click on that $99 lifetime sub. I kinda feel like I got way more than my money's worth out of Sync for Reddit, and I'll use it for many more than the five years it would take to pay more for yearly subs.

Cool, bumpy start but I support your work, you will be instrumental in growing Lemmy. GDPR issues needs to be fixed pronto as it otherwise won't legally comply in the EU.

I've got a bug fix thread here

Keep it up!
