yeah if I recall that was created by someone else with LJs blessing to use the sync name/code... so it may or may not be the same to how sync by LJ would be maintained... don't think anything ever came from that though but as I don't like IOS, I haven't really followed it :/
except lemmy isn't an app, it's a platform. sync is a lemmy app.
taken from the website:
"Lemmy is a selfhosted social link aggregation and discussion platform."
so if anything it's you who is the contrarian, lol. but I digress ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
sync will be android only, same as the reddit version I believe
even better then!
except sync isn't FOSS, lemmy the fediverse link aggregator is 🤡🤡🤡
there will be a separate in app purchase structure
the ultra subscription was a separate sub model from sync for reddit that was on the side to help support the 1 developer who works on the app if you want to. the model was already there and nothing has changed from reddit, so it was probably easy to leave the code in with the same features and keep it in.
you also need to realize this is a beta as well so it's not "officially" released yet. if sync for reddit is anything to go by, once LJ is content on the app it will be released in full, with additional pro / dev variants to come. but since those are considered separate apps, those won't come until later since they need to be reviewed and put on the app store... which makes sense there's only 1 variant at this time
edit: pro model won't happen due to Google play store policies on duplicate apps. one time in app purchase is coming
