Really don't get what all the fuss regarding Sync is about. There are plenty of alternatives out there, free or not. Maybe someone can explain what I'm missing?

Rules:
- Be civil and nice.
- Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
Closed source app for an open source social media platform, and monetizing a free + open source social media platform with subscriptions and ads would be my guess. Of course we all have the choice not to use it. Infinity seems pretty good to me so far.
I like the 20$ app-free version. Sounds like a solid business idea 🤔.
I can't stand the web app. Sync is fantastic!
Perhaps lemmy admins should start charging apps like this for API access…
Where are my Sicko's running at least 3 apps like toddlers in a cage match.
Had my money on Liftoff, but Sync just dropped into the Hell in a Cell playpen and it's time to rumble.
I should update Jerboa probably
Cool. I find it well worth it though, and LJ is working on regional pricing now.
The thing is... if it was the ONLY GOOD choice or even just the best choice, I would be willing to buy it. It just isn't though. There are so many FOSS options already. There will be better and cheaper paid closed source options in the future as well.
I just use jerboa and donate $10 a month to the lemmy devs
I think the bigger issue is that you can't afford a $20 one time fee for a highly polished app that will get a massive amount of usage. I know it's a tough economy but $20 isn't a crazy amount of money.
Infinity is goated!
I set it to amoled and changed the main color to something that's not bright in your face red/pink(too bright, esp when it's late at night)
Just here waiting for boost for lemmy!
Connect is free and pretty awesome overall
I am Pro Sync, but I would still prefer Voyager / wefwef over the official web app.
