Sync for Lemmy

I'm not a sync user but I feel like the dev may have missed an option - pay what you want. PWYW feels almost like a donation.

first thing I did after opening

Good thing there's Liftoff for Lemmy

I paid for ultra mainly to support the Dev. Lemmy isn't good enough for me to switch over just yet but I'll be keeping my eye on it now that Sync for Lemmy exists.

The idea of buying something when I haven't used it yet is kind of ridiculous, especially when the only option is an auto-renewing subscription service. If I could pay for a single month without having to figure out how and when I can cancel or it was a single purchase, I'd be more likely to give it a shot. Signing up for a subscription without knowing if the product is good just doesn't make sense to me

Add that to the fact that I have to pay to get the same no ads experience as many other free apps, that kinda rubs me the wrong way

I'm starting to think that Lemmy was a bad idea. This place is FULL of hardcore nerds.

Everyone here degoogles, downvotes anything not Firefox, shit talks anything but Linux, and refuses to pay a penny because FOSS!!!!!

On Reddit these people at least existed in their own corner. Not all over the platform being annoying little twats.

Does the subscription also partly fund the instances I subscribe to (lemmy.world, lemmy.ml, etc servers)? If so then I'm onboard

Outrageous price for an app. It doesn't even provide the content. It's just an app to show it. We have completely free options. That is it's competition, not youtube. Such a strange thing to compare it to. Youtube provides the framework and code and hosts the videos. It isn't simply a frontend app.
