Or Voyeger or any other opensource Lemmy client.

Sync is fucking fantastic, just how I remember. I don’t mind at all paying for a great app by a talented dev.
The pro version is supposed to be out later, and will just be a one-time payment unlike ultra’s subscription

It’s available as an IAP for $19.99 now

Its not about the money but about the software freedom and source transparency
- Captain Beyond ( @beyond@linkage.ds8.zone ) 66•1 year ago
I say this as someone who is probably one of the biggest supporters of software-freedom around here, but bullying or shaming people for preferring non-free apps does nothing but incite resentment towards the movement. I value the four freedoms because I think I deserve control of my computing, not because I think it’s my place to dictate what others should value.
- Square Singer ( @squaresinger@feddit.de ) 23•1 year ago
The community is one of the worst aspects when working with/on opensource software.
There are so many people with Open Source rabies…
Combine that with all those people who don’t understand the difference between software developed by people who donate their spare time to work on FOSS software and for-profit software developed by big corporations. As a FOSS dev you get so many entitled assholes who think downloading a free app gives them the right to threaten/abuse the devs.
And then there are the fanboys who attack everyone who talks about downsides of their favourite product.
All in all, the hostile community makes FOSS development very not fun.

I voiced my opinion on one of the sync announcement posts and it was received quite controversially.
We all get stuck in our own camps and become quote tribal and I feel like all around it’s difficult to not take what is being said as some kind of attack.
- gkd ( @gkd@lemmy.ml ) English3•1 year ago
I don’t get why instead of making posts about “Don’t use Sync!” no one is saying “Feel free to use and pay for whatever you like! But as a friendly reminder please note that you should also consider helping your instance owners or the core Lemmy team as well.”
There’s nothing wrong at all with paying for software, and even some will be fine with ads. It has literally nothing to do with anyone else but that person. Let them do them.
Like I say though, I think the thing that should be being said is that the app is not self contained and that these people should seriously consider helping out the other aspects as well if they can. But hey, no, let’s just belittle them and push them away instead of welcoming them. I can almost guarantee that the availability of Sync will bring more users to Lemmy that never would have been here otherwise.
- mexicancartel ( @mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English2•1 year ago
I don’t think the meme is bullying or shaming people using sync…right? He said he likes infinity better even though sync is awesome because its libre and open source
- kratoz29 ( @kratoz29@lemmy.fmhy.net ) 56•1 year ago
I don’t understand the bitching about it, we users were asking for this, it is the good thing about Lemmy/Fediverse, you have tons of options, and probably will have more, heck even the PWA are awesome, no need to download anything at all.
- Altima NEO ( @altima_neo@lemmy.zip ) English8•1 year ago
Remind me of that meme where the person is complaining about the thing, gets the thing and then has the frowny face.
- faintedheart ( @faintedheart@lemm.ee ) 50•1 year ago
Sync is a perfectly fine app for me. I tried all other apps and nowhere near to sync. I don’t even have ads on the free version as I am using dns ad blocker. The moment one time payment for removing ads is out(it is coming), I will buy it. Or I will donate to dev in some other way as I am not a fan of subscriptions.
- XTornado ( @XTornado@lemmy.ml ) 7•1 year ago
I do not have ads either…but no idea why I do not have an ad blocker, they just appear.empty for some reason.
- Mythril ( @Mythril@lemm.ee ) 3•1 year ago
Yeah they are empty on my phone too, and I’ve never used any DNS-adblocking on my home network. I suspect it might be because whatever ad system Sync uses currently just doesn’t have any ads for my country, but I don’t actually know.
- Chriskmee ( @Chriskmee@lemm.ee ) 2•1 year ago
It’s the same in the US (for me at least) also, either it’s not working just yet, or it’s just a placeholder for now, you never know with pre-release apps.

Imagine Apollo for Lemmy 😮💨

i’m using memmy (iOs) ! works very good, and it feels nostalgic since they tried their best to… be inspired by apollo 😄
- kratoz29 ( @kratoz29@lemmy.fmhy.net ) 5•1 year ago
My gf installed that one yesterday, but I think it does not have an option to mark as read posts while you scroll, hide read posts?
I couldn’t even see if the read posts were dimmed.
- ladrodibestie ( @ladrodibestie@feddit.it ) 1•1 year ago
All “hide read posts” options are here!
In Settings -> Content -> Hide Read Posts .
edit: to clarify, i have the 0.5 version. i’ll update to 0.5.1 now.
- Shambles ( @Shambles@beehaw.org ) 12•1 year ago
Have you heard of wefwef? It’s basically Apollo for Lemmy.
Link to a Reddit post about it, quickest I could find in short order at work:

- Zana ( @Zana@startrek.website ) 13•1 year ago
It’s called Voyager now.
- Shambles ( @Shambles@beehaw.org ) 6•1 year ago
Thanks, I didn’t realize that. My icon still says wefwef.
- body_by_make ( @Cqrd@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) 5•1 year ago
For the PWA you’ll have to remove and re-add it to get the updated name and icon, if you want them. Not required by any means though
- Shambles ( @Shambles@beehaw.org ) 4•1 year ago
Thanks that worked!, I feel like I preferred the old icon though :/ I’ll get used to the new one I guess.
- Pinklink ( @Pinklink@lemm.ee ) 2•1 year ago
Is it? I got it before it was on App Store, so it still says wefwef. Should I go get Voyager because one day updates won’t transfer over? Or am I good, and super duper cool cus I got OG Voyager?
- owf ( @owf@feddit.de ) 8•1 year ago
Seriously good by any measure, and fantastic for a webapp. Smoother and more native-feeling than a lot of actual native apps.
Yes and big fan as well even hosted it on my instance

That’s Voyager.
That’s Voyager.
Great… Now I get to look forward to a trip back from the delta quadrant.
- kratoz29 ( @kratoz29@lemmy.fmhy.net ) 4•1 year ago
Which is also coming for Android!
- gunnm ( @gunnm@monero.town ) 5•1 year ago
💪
- undefined ( @undefined@programming.dev ) 2•1 year ago
except it’s not, because Voyager is React and comes with all the baggage that using React brings.
Native clients all the way.
- gunnm ( @gunnm@monero.town ) 3•1 year ago
Works great as PWA, and Voyager is already coming native.
Hopefully the dev changes his mind about not creating an app for lemmy
- Jim ( @JimmyDean@lemm.ee ) 29•1 year ago
I just installed Sync after browsing with Jerboa for the past month. Sync has such a clean, smooth look that if it functions even remotely consistently it’ll be my new replacement.
- Torty ( @Torty@beehaw.org ) 25•1 year ago
So fucking ecstatic to have seen that Sync for Lemmy came out today personally.
Paid for Ultra immediately without a second thought even if the app is early days I know it’s a worthwhile investment to keep ljdawson paid and caffeinated lol

- BigCountry ( @BigCountry@lemmy.ml ) 7•1 year ago
I used sync for reddit for years, I had no ads in the free version and the pro version. I’ve tried a half dozen apps for Lemmy since my Reddexit. Sync for Lemmy is far and away the best. I really missed its design. I was happy to toss $20 to you for no ads on Sync for Lemmy. Thanks for all the hard work.
- Unquote0270 ( @Unquote0270@programming.dev ) 5•1 year ago
I drove through it once, looked rough as shit.

Good job you didn’t stop
- Metal Zealot ( @Metal_Zealot@lemmy.ml ) 2•1 year ago
Nice, I have family in Nottinghamshire.
Also, is your .ml or .world your main instance? The .world seems to have the biggest audience
- Ljdawson... 🪵 ( @ljdawson@lemmy.ml ) 2•1 year ago
.world is
- setVeryLoud(true); ( @isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca ) 23•1 year ago
Y’all gotta stop shitting on non-FOSS Lemmy apps.
Lemmy is Lemmy, let people access the platform how they want to. It doesn’t affect you. Don’t use Sync if you don’t want to.
- Fazoo ( @Fazoo@lemmy.ml ) 22•1 year ago
Picked up Jerboa when I made the switch to Lemmy. Now I won’t be returning to Sync. No way in hell I’m paying a subscription.
- Tigwyk ( @Tigwyk@lemmy.vrchat-dev.tech ) English19•1 year ago
As a Jerboa user who just started using Sync, I can honestly say it’s really fucking slick. Like really slick.
- Fazoo ( @Fazoo@lemmy.ml ) 9•1 year ago
I’m sure it is, but until the live version has single payment, I won’t consider the switch. Even then, I don’t use Lemmy half as much as I used Reddit, so I won’t pay the same amount I paid for Reddit.
- Tigwyk ( @Tigwyk@lemmy.vrchat-dev.tech ) English7•1 year ago
I am looking forward to the lifetime payment, yeah. Is Sync made by a single dev? I don’t know anything about this app aside from everyone clamoring for the team to make a Lemmy-compatible version.
I also find myself using Lemmy less than Reddit but I’m hoping as we discover and tailor our feeds with more fitting communities then it’ll naturally become a healthy replacement. It took me like 10 years to curate my reddit algorithm.
- quitethekiwi ( @quitethekiwi@lemmy.nz ) 6•1 year ago
Yes Sync is developed by a single Dev.
- Tigwyk ( @Tigwyk@lemmy.vrchat-dev.tech ) English6•1 year ago
Well it’s pretty damn cool for a single dev then, I’m impressed. I like the idea of giving money to a talented dev and not to reddit, too, so that feels nice.
- Lomeli ( @Lomeli@lemmy.ca ) 3•1 year ago
They already added the one-time payment to remove ads
He’s said there’s plans for a lifetime option in the future. So just be the same as having Sync Pro.
Sync already feels far more polished than jerboa or connect in my opinion.
- cerothem ( @Cerothen@lemmy.ca ) English4•1 year ago
The one time pay to remove ads was released on the recent beta

Yeah, tried sync since that was my reddit app of choice but the ads and tracking just forced me to uninstall it. Trying thunder now and it seems pretty good
