Never before have I been so excited for a beta app. Thank you Ljdawson!
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.
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
Does it just remove the ads visualization or actually disables all related data collection and tracking?
I’m pretty sure analytics is optional even if you didn’t pay a dime but feel free to correct me on that
I don’t know. That’s why I was asking lj
<3 can tell you did some on the backend… smoother than reddit’s client
Wow you work fast.
Loving it, keep up the good work.
Excellent, I’m looking forward to this!
That’s great to hear!
But lemmy does not have ads. I’m confused
Lemmy doesn’t. The app might. I don’t use sync but if I’m an app developer I could make money plugging advertisements into my app. If I design the UI well enough, and make the ads unobtrusive, I might just make enough money and not piss anyone off.
Agree. That’s a no from me. I’d pay if I like it, but injecting ads into the feed and I’m out. Just trying liftoff now. Seems solid.
It’s like having Reddit back, this is amazing. 🙏
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!
So happy to have the sync icon back in its spot on my homescreen! Thanks LJ!!
Literally the first thread I reply to on the app.
Feels so good to be back!
Agreed. It’s as if I just got back from a long trip. Feels like home.
We are so fucking back
I wonder why you have a 🍑 app recommendation… 😛
I don’t know honestly, didn’t even pay attention to that when I took that screenshot lol
Just in time. Reddit killed RIF all the way just now
Yeah I just saw that. RIP
I’m making a stand and abandoning reddit like digg
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.
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!
You are just being made aware of how many vendors your data will be shared with by default.
Eh that’s beta apps for you, pretty sure Ljdawson will improve it at some point.
Just the thing I’ve been waiting for. We are so back.
Never used sync before. Must be a reason people are so excited
Oh… You’ve unleashed The Flood…
Let’s keep him caffeinated!
I’ll wait until Ljdawson sets up regional pricing, not really used to paying American prices for everything online personally.
Subscribed for Ultra immediately. 👍😎
This is my first time using Sync. I bounced around different reddit apps back before the shit hit the fan but never tried Sync. I have to say. Im impressed. It’s so much more stable than Jerboa.
