Afternoon everyone,

I wanted to go over a few points related to pricing, stats and the roadmap

Pricing

  1. Sync for Lemmy is completely free with ads (the same as Sync for Reddit)

  2. You can remove ads in the account picker or drawer for a one time fee of ~$20

  3. Sync Ultra also removes ads but it's not required

  4. I'll be working on regional prices over the coming weeks

There are now 24k installed users up from 100 the previous day!

I'm going to be spending the next few days going through all of the comments / messages and fixing any crashes.

As always thanks for the support and hope you're liking Sync!

Lj

I never said sync is overpriced at 20 bucks. I said he should give 2 bucks back to the Foss community.

Sync is not Foss so no, paying for sync does not mean your paying for Foss. You make lemmy more popular, that's true. And by doing that you're raising the cost of hosting lemmy.world which is ran solely on gifts from some users. We should do something to alleviate that.

I agree that we as a community need to figure out a sustainable way for the devs and maintainers to see revenue. I'm likely going to sub to the .world Patreon.
