I was thinking about going this route, pass got me interested in the Proton ecosystem, was thinking about getting the mail plus subscription as well. But it looks like that's a no go :(

Same here but after 6 years of using Sync I know what I get out of Sync, my hesitation is only in regard to the Lemmy project itself.

I paid €2.69 in 2017 xD

Too soon, being taken advantage of?

The developer has a track record, we already know the product being delivered and the terms.

The fan base are the people who were already using Sync for Reddit.

The people who like me had used Sync for Reddit since 2017. Sync always had ads and the inherent tracking, I paid 2.69€ in Jan 2017 to remove ads and support the development.

(When In 2022 the developer added another support level where you had access to early betas, I paid again 4.99€, because I'm an early adopter and wanted to support again because I never went the subscription route)

I have also setup a monthly donation towards my Lemmy instance.

It might feel too soon because Ljdawson moves fast.

I am using it right now. Moments ago I was reading a post on a DnD community and had to do a double take, it felt like I was on Reddit, but it was just a bout of nostalgia after years of using Sync for Reddit.

The familiarity, the gorgeous material UI, but now with 100% less spez!!

Thank you for bringing Sync to Lemmy Ljdawson!!

If this really is about that post sharing an image of /u/Im_Cherry_Blossom I'm a bit on the fence about this, but I leave it to Ada's discretion.

Yes, Artemis by @hariette is looking good.

 

Hear me out… I’ve lurked on reddit for 14 years.

At the beginning, many companies were aware of unofficial communities about their products, but didn’t touch reddit with a ten foot pole, but as reddit became more mainstream and some companies started monitoring unofficial reddit communities to provide customer support and interact with the community, some even embraced reddit and declared the subreddits “official”.

I imagine that some of the early reluctance derived from them having to rely on reddit to host their community. (and now we see how much reddit is trustworthy, also at the time reddit was on the “news” only for the worst reasons)

But now they have the chance, given that lemmy and other reddit alternatives have captured some internet buzz, to adhere to Lemmy and spin their own instances and host their communities.

This would help bring more instances into the fediverse by companies who can bill it to their marketing and community budgets.

I would love to see:

  • lemmy.riotgames.com/c/lol
  • lemmy.blizzard.com/c/wow
  • etc…

We have looped around and we are back to vBulleting and phpBB times. But this time it’s federated.
