My only criticism is the subscription fee instead of a one off charge for the full set of features. I would like a lot of them but I don't need cloud sync or another ongoing cost to worry about.

[-] ljdawson@lemmy.world 88 points 1 year ago

I've just pushed beta 25 which adds the option to remove the ads as a one time purchase.

Hopefully they'll approve the update within the next 24 hours

[-] Razp@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Does it just remove the ads visualization or actually disables all related data collection and tracking?

<3 can tell you did some on the backend.. smoother than reddit's client

[-] CrypticFawn@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 year ago

Wow you work fast.

[-] aerowave@feddit.uk 5 points 1 year ago

That's great to hear!

[-] StupidBrotherInLaw@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Loving it, keep up the good work.

[-] xaxl@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

It's like having Reddit back, this is amazing. ๐Ÿ™

For as long as I can remember Reddit and Sync have been one and the same. I never used Reddit website or app, only ever used Sync to browse Reddit hosted content. I used it a lot. I've missed it a lot.

Between the Lemmy platform and Sync client, to all intents and purposes what Reddit was has been fully restored/migrated.

I know it's early days, but I did not expect to see anything like this so soon and it gives me hope that Lemmy can grow and thrive into the network of people that always made Reddit what it was. Everything that's needed is there - early, a little rough around the edges, but there. And being improved constantly.

Hallelujah!

It feels so surreal to be in a newly-budding set of communities with the same UI I fell in love with years ago.

Thank you, LJ!

[-] charles@lemmy.ca 28 points 1 year ago

So happy to have the sync icon back in its spot on my homescreen! Thanks LJ!!

[-] somenonewho@feddit.de 8 points 1 year ago

I feel this so much. First had jerboa there and then liftoff. No shade to either of those but having sync back is just so great.

[-] charles@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

I'd tried voyager, then connect, and finally had settled on Liftoff. All are great apps especially for how quickly they were published but Sync just feels so much better to me after having used it for years for Reddit. Feels so good to be back!!

[-] 1bluepixel@lemmy.world 26 points 1 year ago

Literally the first thread I reply to on the app.

Feels so good to be back!

[-] dub@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Agreed. It's as if I just got back from a long trip. Feels like home.

The GDPR consent settings is ludicrous. It reads like fucking spyware and I cannot fathom why, someone please explain!

The vendor settings alone is like 300 different vendors all with their own preselected consent button, ffs!

[-] snooggums@kbin.social 11 points 1 year ago

You are just being made aware of how many vendors your data will be shared with by default.

Just in time. Reddit killed RIF all the way just now

[-] Isthisreddit@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Yeah I just saw that. RIP

I'm making a stand and abandoning reddit like digg

[-] camillaSinensis@reddthat.com 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I was on the verge of abandoning reddit before when I could only use RIF to browse logged out, but now that it's gone for good...goodbye, reddit. I wonder if it'll affect things like reddit traffic at all. Time will tell, I suppose.

[-] A10@kerala.party 10 points 1 year ago

My first ๐Ÿฅ‡ comment from Sync for Lemmy

[-] TheMorningStar@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Just the thing I've been waiting for. We are so back.

[-] trunksyume@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Subscribed for Ultra immediately. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜Ž

[-] Metal_Zealot@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

THE WORLD IS HEALING

[-] crummysocks@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Never used sync before. Must be a reason people are so excited

[-] kortwotze@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Gogogoooooo!

This is my first experience using sync, I been a boost user and never used sync for reddit. This is a very promising beta

[-] Rac3r4Life@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I just downloaded it and I'm loving it so far. Definitely the best Lemmy client for Android.

[-] PeepinGoodArgs@reddthat.com 5 points 1 year ago

Yeah...this is what I wanted...

[-] aquinteros@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

[-] Amir@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Impressive, very nice.

"Finally...inner peace."

Commenting from Sync, with paid ultra as basically my 3rd click in the app before all else.

[-] G_Wash1776@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I remember when I had an android phone that Sync was by far my favorite app, glad to see the transition to Lemmy. Fucking awesome.
