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

    I think the biggest complaints are about the tracking stuff. That was a surprise to me as a long time user.

        I’d like to pay for an app where I’m not the product

        Is there a possibility of a paid app which doesn’t include the sharing of my data?

          From what I understand if you pay to remove ads the Google Ads library is never intialized, which was the only thing collecting data

      To be fair it’s not like the dev himself is tracking you guys, it’s just how Google ads works. Nothing out of the ordinary.

        Nothing out of the ordinary on commercial platforms where the user is the product, like Google, Facebook, or reddit.

        Here on Lemmy (where most development is done out of charity, and servers are run by donations) it IS the outlier.
