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

Loving the app so far. Is there anyway to view communities by size? My instance has a "communities" page that shows local and all communities by user count. Is this on the roadmap?

Working great so far. I've noticed a few bugs early on (it would crash when launching, but clearing the data fixed it), but perhaps it's been resolved now.

Keep it up!

Loving the app, I was also an avid boost user but I've been really enjoying Sync! One feature I'd like to suggest is moderator actions, I've installed (what I think is) ever android Lemmy app and none of them have any moderator support. Having this feature would immediately be a big pull to anybody who moderates a community and would greatly help moderating from mobile.

Bought sync for redd years ago. Just bought Sync for lemmy. Lj deserves every cent

Did my app glitch or something? I installed day one, then a few hours later an update dropped with the option to pay $13 for lifetime ad-free and I immediately paid that. Now everyone's complaining it's $20?

Do free or ad-free users get new features that aren't cloud or service related?

Appreciate the work on bringing Sync to Lemmy. Long time Reddit and Sync user here. Been lurking on Lemmy for a month but with Sync I feel like I can really enjoy this place. Thanks @ljdawson@lemmy.world !

Sync was what I needed to use more lemmy! :D I don't know if I'm really used to how it looks and feels but other apps don't do it for me at least.

Thank you for all your work!

Are you considering making a paid version like Sync Pro was? There were many users who had issues buying the ad removal from regular old Sync for Reddit and having the ads come back up, and I personally prefer getting ad-free, paid versions of apps right off the bat so I rest easy knowing that the any ad tracking code isn't even built into the app at all.

I'm having trouble on pixel fold getting videos to autoplay when phone is unfolded and showing 2 columns. It only plays when folded and showing 1 column. Any chance there is a way to get videos to autoplay when unfolded?

How can I see hidden posts?

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

dude, I have been feeling down since the other site went bananas... I just want to say thank you truly, this is game changer. I'm subscribing to ultra just to support you

[-] FlipTheEgg@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 year ago

I'm so happy to be back!

I spent a day in the official Reddit app, and it was miserable. So far I really like Lemmy, the content is much richer than I anticipated, and Sync makes me feel right at home, and the ads aren't too obtrusive (unlike the fucking Reddit app, Christ it's miserable) I think 20 for the equivalent-ish to pro is fair, but I am from a wealthier country, so my reference may be different to others. Ultra seems steep to me as well, but it's still way less than the official Reddit app lol.

So glad for the work you're doing, and excited for a new chapter of happy doomscrolling and community-building.
