That being said, my 2 cents regarding Sync: I don't mind paying for a great app like Sync, but I'm not crazy about subscription models. I know there is a one time option but $100 for a mobile app is beyond nuts.

EDIT: $100 is for the lifetime "ultra" plan. It's $20 to remove ads.

100 bucks is only for the extra features. Just to remove ads is $20, which is admittedly still high

I just noticed some other comments mentioning that and didn't realize there was a different one-time fee to remove ads. I only initially saw the "ultra" subscription options. You're right though, $20 is a bit high but not too far off. I would pay $10 if I was sure this was the app for me. It's honestly a nice looking app. I never used Sync for Reddit. My favorite was always Relay.

Whatever you do, it's important to support app developers. Definitely don't manually set your DNS to dns.adguard.com on your phone, to block all ads in apps

Super don't use 94.140.14.14 and 94.140.15.15 as the primary and alternative addresses for systems that don't accept URLs to DNS servers. You would block (some of) all the ads on any Internet connected device!

I paid 8 bucks for sync pro back in 2012. I got 11 years out of it. He earned more of my money

I have 10 in a folder on my home screen right now! I lover the amount of development taking place in the Lemmy ecosystem.
