Lol! The choice is ads or a SUBSCRIPTION!?

My friend, we know other 3rd party Reddit app developers are working as fast as they can to make lemmy apps. One of them is bound to have a one-time pro version upgrade. I'll hold out for that.

LMAO ... Subscriptions. Why on earth do you think we left Reddit?!

there will be a separate in app purchase structure

the ultra subscription was a separate sub model from sync for reddit that was on the side to help support the 1 developer who works on the app if you want to. the model was already there and nothing has changed from reddit, so it was probably easy to leave the code in with the same features and keep it in.

you also need to realize this is a beta as well so it's not "officially" released yet. if sync for reddit is anything to go by, once LJ is content on the app it will be released in full, with additional pro / dev variants to come. but since those are considered separate apps, those won't come until later since they need to be reviewed and put on the app store... which makes sense there's only 1 variant at this time

edit: pro model won't happen due to Google play store policies on duplicate apps. one time in app purchase is coming

Sounds like pro will not be a separate app and will only be unlocked with an in-app purchase due to Google Play policies around 'duplicate' apps.
