Hey ljdawson@lemmy.world or any other mod/dev/anybody.

Is Sync still a thing? I saw you haven't commented on lemmy for 2 months now. There are no updates here or on the Play Store. Lemmy v0.19 is rapidly coming with breaking changes. Are you prepared for that?

Thanks in the name of the community!

Well, I can confirm I'm using it to write this comment, very smooth experience for me.

I'm using the free version, so far any ads I've seen are not intrusive and tbh fairly rare

Also on free version, also haven't seen a single ad.

However, this long absence that LJ is renowned for highlights the reason paying ยฃ100 is too steep for things like Ultra or whatever it's called.

Tbh I think that pricing level was really only for the long time fans who wanted to significantly contribute.

[โ€“] Risk@feddit.uk 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I am a long time fan, but the price is just too high to justify for me, unfortunately.

That's a premium tier price tag for less than premium tier service (in the sense of long patches of development silence).

[โ€“] can@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago

Yeah, I couldn't justify dropping that much for lifetime but a buck a month I can swing for a bit.

[โ€“] protput@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

With those prices, the only people who will pay for it are (some) of the long time fans. I can't believe anyone new to Lemmy will ever go to Sync when there are so many alternatives. Those prices just scare people away. I'm pretty sure he would earn more if it was like $1-2/year.

Free version here with an ad blocker, super smooth and no ads

[โ€“] AeroLemming@lemm.ee 6 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Doesn't it still say 'sponsored content' in those little widgets, though?

[โ€“] Tier1BuildABear@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

What little widgets?

[โ€“] AeroLemming@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

On the card view, ad boxes are inserted between posts.

[โ€“] Omniraptor@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

afaict ads only show up if you use one of the shitty view modes anyway

[โ€“] Tier1BuildABear@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

I use the list view for what it's worth. I personally like it the best and I get the most content on screen
