I did a poll and nearly 30% of the people who voted said they used Sync! It’s stayed around that percent the whole time too!
EDIT: Here is the poll I forgot to put this here like five times lol https://strawpoll.com/wby5A21R1yA
After reading this I decided to try it out. Within 5 posts there were ads. No thanks, I’ll stick with Connect.
Edit: I was scrolling everything and replied. I didn’t see this was in the official community. My opinion doesn’t matter in here. I think it’s great that sync is successful and I hope it continues. So yea, keep on keeping on.
I’ve been using systemwide adblock on all my electronics for years now so I forget that in app ads are a thing. But yeah, I see your point. They do offer a one time purchase to remove ads.
It’s a single developer that should be paid for his work. You can easily upgrade to the ad free version for a few bucks…
You’re bothered by the ads? Just pay money for it
lol
Oh no! Someone wants compensation for their labor?? The horror!
How dramatic of you
Do you own slaves? Because you seem to expect everything to be unpaid labour
Where are all my foss slaves at
I don’t disagree that they should make some money for their efforts, but isn’t every client for lemmy made by a single developer?
Does paying for it also remove the trackers, or just the ads?
Both
If it was reasonably priced, I’d agree. But €20 is just insane, especially when the clients it competes with already have no ads for free
Yeah, I agree the ad-free price seems a little steep. I would be much more fine paying 5-10 dollars for it.
It’s crazy to me how small the Jereboa usage is. It didn’t collect or share data and has a great interface. What are these other apps giving that makes you want to use them? Genuinely curious on what I’m missing out on.
Using Sync and Connect, prefer the latter.
When I left reddit, I tried Jerboa for lemmy. Honestly, if Sync didn’t become available some time later, I would definitely not be here.
