I think now is a great time to remind everyone, like sync's developer, Lemmy's developers need to be paid too! The amount of time all the devs put into making lemmy exist, in my opinion, should be worth some of your money. If you can afford it, donating to the people who develop lemmy and/or the people keeping your home instance up will accelerate the incredible growth of lemmy!

I'm currently running infinity, seems OK... There's still a handful of features I'd like.

I am definitely not going to run Sync with adverts and I'm not paying the amount they're asking, neither am I going to go with subscription based.

If sync halved their ad free version, I'd probably pull the trigger - failing that, I'll eventually just hack up their client and remove the ads myself.

Instead of hacking Sync to remove the ads, why not spend the same time helping with a free app to add the features you want?

I don't have free time to start a project like that, removing ads from an apk is trivial.

There are plenty of FOSS apps for Lemmy out there, no need to "start" any project, just lend a hand

Nah... I don't think that's for me 👍
