    the app feels really premium than any lemmy app I tried but the ads are a deal breaker for me. I would definitely consider purchasing it to support the developer but I can’t pay monthly just to browse lemmy. Sticking with voyager for now

      Dawson has said that he is currently working on a one time and removal option, so you probably won’t have to wait too long.

      I’ve been waiting for sync to be ready on lemmy and installed it as soon as it was. I got an ad preferences thingy and thought “fuck it, the guy got sync of the ground for lemmy in just a few weeks” worth £15.99 for the annual sub to ultra IMHO. Been using sync pro on reddit for years of the back of a tiny one of purchase. I figure for the hours I used it, he deserves more than I paid and I’m more than grateful that sync is back.

      Can I ask where you’re seeing ads? I’m using Sync now, and I haven’t seen any. What sort of ads are showing?

      I’m using Infinity now. I was a sync pro user and the ads, tracking and subscription are a nope to me as well

            I sure hope it will, but there’s no guarantee. This is still a much smaller and quiet different audience than Reddit’s and this might not be worth the effort for ljdawson in the long run. Heck, there were times when he paused development of the Reddit client despite its far larger reach.

            I’m honestly a little shocked by the amount of open hostility he got all over the Fediverse for simply offering a premium/ad-supported/closed-source-client.

            I’m a little hesitant to pull the trigger on this one, 15€ is just a tad over the pain threshold for an app with an unknown future and there’s still Boost to look forward to - I’m waiting to see Boost’s pricing first.
