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!

Sync dev wanting something worth for the all the work they're doing is fine imo. You can tell he put a lot of effort into the app.

The sync cult however seem to be as annoying as they were on reddit. They are like this when we discuss anything about sync's pricing even on non sync communities.

"I'm so happy I can buy sync again"

"Sync is the best"

"No other 3PA can compare to it in my experience"

This is one of the few times I feel like "nobody asked" applies.

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 🤷‍♂️

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.

There is regional pricing though, look at the comments under posts about removing ads. Some are paying the equivalent of $15, others €18 to €23.

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.

[–] 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
