    My only criticism is the subscription fee instead of a one off charge for the full set of features. I would like a lot of them but I don’t need cloud sync or another ongoing cost to worry about.

      I’ve just pushed beta 25 which adds the option to remove the ads as a one time purchase.

      Hopefully they’ll approve the update within the next 24 hours

      He wrote in another thread there will be a lifetime price for us who hates subscriptions. It’s coming.

        That’s good to know. I bought several Reddit apps over my 15 year history with the site, I don’t have a problem supporting developers but I absolutely hate the subscription model. It feels like letting a colony of ticks leech off of you when literally EVERYONE is doing it.

        It better be coming within the 20th of August, cause that’s when my Google rewards balance is expiring.

    It’s like having Reddit back, this is amazing. 🙏

    For as long as I can remember Reddit and Sync have been one and the same. I never used Reddit website or app, only ever used Sync to browse Reddit hosted content. I used it a lot. I’ve missed it a lot.

    Between the Lemmy platform and Sync client, to all intents and purposes what Reddit was has been fully restored/migrated.

    I know it’s early days, but I did not expect to see anything like this so soon and it gives me hope that Lemmy can grow and thrive into the network of people that always made Reddit what it was. Everything that’s needed is there - early, a little rough around the edges, but there. And being improved constantly.

    Hallelujah!

    It feels so surreal to be in a newly-budding set of communities with the same UI I fell in love with years ago.

    Thank you, LJ!

      I feel this so much. First had jerboa there and then liftoff. No shade to either of those but having sync back is just so great.

        I’d tried voyager, then connect, and finally had settled on Liftoff. All are great apps especially for how quickly they were published but Sync just feels so much better to me after having used it for years for Reddit. Feels so good to be back!!

    The GDPR consent settings is ludicrous. It reads like fucking spyware and I cannot fathom why, someone please explain!

    The vendor settings alone is like 300 different vendors all with their own preselected consent button, ffs!

      I was on the verge of abandoning reddit before when I could only use RIF to browse logged out, but now that it’s gone for good…goodbye, reddit. I wonder if it’ll affect things like reddit traffic at all. Time will tell, I suppose.
