I have about 5 different apps installed right now, and while I plan to test them all out, curious what people's conclusions are thus far.

They're welcome to use whatever other app they want, or deal with ads. Options abound. I seriously doubt the sync for lemmy dev is swimming in cash. We're not talking about shoveling money at a company like reddit, we're talking about supporting a solitary, highly trusted dev who's worked hard to create a great app.

you fail to realize that the dev barely did any work to the app, it's literally a direct port from reddit to lemmy, yet he's recharging people money at a very steep price too and he's running ads on the app when the official lemmy site has NO ads nor does it's official app Jerboa.

Lmfao recharging people money. Base sync for reddit was free and then you could pay like $5 for lifetime support. Sorry the dev is looking to be compensated for his work, I know $2 per month is a "very steep price."

Use Jerboa.
