there's a lot of hate for sync out there, maybe it's just because I've been using the Reddit version for years but I really love it. i do think some people aren't aware that it's only existed for Lemmy for about 3 or 4 days. there's going to be issues this early on even if the codebase is adapted from a working app. an app this polished already is impressive to me, the pricing isn't something a fan of but I can almost guarantee it'll be evened out sooner or later

I really like the UX of infinity, it's almost as good as sync.

This whole Sync "issue" (is not an issue for me) has brought to light the way many people in the Lemmy communities feel about FOSS, free apps, ads even privacy, developers' compensation, etc. It's been interesting, still paid those $20 tho.

I think one of the thing that irritated some people is that this time they are not paying for more, they are paying to remove a nuisance (tracking). This is something almost only seen in proprietary apps.

I've paid for a bunch of Foss and non-foss applications through the years but never for the "remove ads" model. JuiceSSH is one such example. The base app was so useful that I knew I had to get the additional functionalities and paid a fair amount for them.

Proprietary software is a cancer.
