A Sync user loves Lemmy enough to pay for it and isn’t wrapped up in drama spun by FOSS advocates. Be proud.
That being said, I love FOSS.
Welcome buddy. Welcome all sync users. The greatest part of the decentriverse is it’s not yours or mine, it’s no one’s. Do as you please.
I found out about Lemmy BECAUSE of Sync. I’m a huge FOSS supporter but that doesn’t mean I’ll trash anything that isn’t open source.
Much more importantly, I’d really like to see Lemmy succeed against data mining trash like Reddit. Let’s not dissuade potential converts coming over from Reddit with this gatekeeping nonsense. These manipulative parasitic social media companies are the real enemy here. Sync is one guy making one app with a one time purchase. Everyone is still welcome to use open source apps, the website or any other means of accessing the community. Sync is not your enemy.
I wanted RIF to support Lemmy
While the cost and ads are enough to keep me using the free options, everyone should just use whatever they want.
More Lemmy users = more content on Lemmy.
It’s weird how upset people are getting over memes about sync. It’s a shame because the memes are pretty funny.
None of the FOSS advocates actually care that you use Sync unless they’re going to your house and uninstalling it when your not looking.
And there’s a lot of misconceptions about free software. Free Software is opposed to proprietary software, not paid software. All projects, whether free or proprietary require compensation of some kind, or else they wouldn’t exist.
There is a legitimate debate around if proprietary software is ethical. The whole existence of the free software movement is because the proponents of it saw proprietary software as unethical.
I set up sync to look as much like Alexandrite as I could, its a nice bit of consistency when I switch to desktop from mobile and vice versa.
Not enough people know about alexandrite. It’s definitely my favorite web interface.
I haven’t tried many, maybe one other than Alexandrite and “stock” but I like that it uses more of my screen than just the middle.
I personally like MLMYM more, but you do you.
Damn these sync users. Infinity for lemmy is gonna be way better
I don’t see why people are so against the developer using ads. If you don’t like them, you can remove them yourself with an adblocker, you don’t need the dev to do that. If you consider ads an ethical violation, you shouldn’t see using an adblocker as unethical.

Or get this. Pay to remove them. Should people not be compensated for their hard work?
That’s not really my point. If people are demanding that everything should be free, they can just make them free and stop whining about it.
I am curious why you like about it. I was a Relay user, and it was the only one that was really good for me. I didn’t care for sync, it seemed ok, but not quite good enough.
But after moving to Lemmy I went with Jerboa and Thunder. Both are good enough. What could sync possibly have that you pay for?
I know for relay I miss: auto mute. Everything is mute by default. Then slow and fastforward for all media, and a download button.
Sync is the only 3rd party app I have ever used that actually has fantastic material you design. I have a pixel phone and quite like material you look. I prefer all my apps support this superior look, other apps try but none get anywhere close to that amount of polish Sync has.
TLDR: Sync is fucking gorgeous and no alternatives come close to being as sexy
I am trying to figure out what it is I would be looking at when I am looking at posts and comments, lol.
How does that work? Have a screen shot?
who is going to attk you for sync? all i see is ppl spamming about sync. it’s fucking annoying. I do not care about sync. I care about these shitposts
Have you heard about our Lord and Savior “Sync”?
I present you beautiful and FOSS infinity

I rolled my own Infinity for Reddit after the Great API block. It’s so inferior to Sync.
I disagree with the rest of the people itt. Downvote me NOW
I agree with this comment.
Its called lemmings
And when they act sour, they’re called lemons!
I like it so much I bought the ads free version, it’s a great app
