I think now is a great time to remind everyone, like sync's developer, Lemmy's developers need to be paid too! The amount of time all the devs put into making lemmy exist, in my opinion, should be worth some of your money. If you can afford it, donating to the people who develop lemmy and/or the people keeping your home instance up will accelerate the incredible growth of lemmy!

Conversely, all the memes trying to shit on sync by people who never used it or even tried it, who asked?

right? "sync users never shut up"

meanwhile my feed:

edit: and three posts down:

we get it you don't like sync, I'm just trying to find content in an app i enjoy ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

[โ€“] Annoyed_Crabby@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Ohh, that's mine. Sorry if my post annoyed you, i'm just trying my best adding content to lemmy. Funny enough, i'm really to throw money at ultra sub because i love reddit sync, but seeing the pricing and no regional price while the app still in beta state, i'd rather not, for now.

App is nice though, feels like home.

lol it's all good ๐Ÿ˜ I don't mind the posts at all

[โ€“] SugarSnack@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There is regional pricing though, look at the comments under posts about removing ads. Some are paying the equivalent of $15, others โ‚ฌ18 to โ‚ฌ23.

Cool. What are the regional prices for your home instance? Your home instance is where you created your account, just to give you a head start.

[โ€“] SugarSnack@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Pretty sure my region is where my Google account is set up rather than my instance, and I'm at the upper end of the prices I saw. Thanks for the head start in the wrong direction though.

The point was to have you look at your instance admins donation links, since that's what the thread is about.

Edit: you're on the same instance as me! In that case, here's the relevant information

Well yeah I get the instances need donations, the person I replied to was talking about regional pricing in sync

Personally I find both sides a bit grating, but moreso the anti-Sync crowd lol.

I used Sync for Reddit and paid for lifetime, but after a while I found that I liked Infinity better, so I switched. I'm now using Infinity for Lemmy and probably won't use Sync for Lemmy, but people who are using Sync (and paid for it)? Good for them. No need to tell them, "Haha you're a sucker for paying for something when there are free alternatives!!", you lose absolutely nothing by other people using Sync or other proprietary apps.

Let people use what they want, jfc.

Q on infinity, is it possible to hide/collapse comments? When I click on a comment, it just shows/hides the toolbar. That's what's stopping me from using at the moment.

[โ€“] brgo@lemmy.nz 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

On infinity a long press will collapse all comments replying to that comment. With the "Fully collapse comment" setting enabled (under Interface->comment) it will collapse that comment too. The setting "Swap tap and long press in comments" (under Gestures & buttons) will make it so tapping has that effect instead. In the comment toolbar, to the left of the save comment button there is an up arrow that also triggers the collapse of the comment.

Thank you!

Edit: back on infinity with this change :)
