  • Jeg tror nesten aldri jeg har vært mer enig meg noen en jeg er med denne kronikkforfatteren.

    Jeg er helt sikker på at mange av de som villig risikerer andres liv på denne måten ville ha tenkt seg om en gang ekstra, dersom det faktisk hadde hatt konsekvenser å holde på på denne måten.

    As this will be a new app, requiring a lot of dev time, I expect we’ll have to pay for it again.

    I’ve gotten countless hours of enjoyment out of Sync Pro since s paid a couple of dollars for it 11 years ago, and do not begrudge having to pay for a new app now. And by that, I mean I’m going to use some of my hard earned Google Play Rewards.






  • I’ve been cutting down on my time using Reddit a lot lately. Reasons being that for quite a few years now, I’ve felt like it took more from me than it gave.

    After this shit show and the prospect of being forced to stop using Sync, I just decided to uninstall the app a couple of weeks ago.

    After hearing that the Sync developer has started working on a Lemmy app, I joined an instance yesterday, and I gotta say, this feels more like the early Reddit I joined 15 years ago. Didn’t know how much I’ve missed that sense of community.

    My Reddit profile is 15 years old, so I’ve been around for quite a while. At that time, I don’t believe there really was any real alternatives to browsing on a PC.

    After some time just using vanilla, I discovered I could make my browsing experience better by using RES, and that’s what I’d use until BaconReader became a thing. I bought the pro version of BR in 2011.

    When more third party apps started to hit the scene, I think I was a bit stubborn at first, and didn’t want to trade out BaconReader. But after a while, I caved and decided to give the alternatives a try. I bought both Reddita, Relay for Reddit and RIF is Fun, in 2012. I believe I mostly used RIF for a couple of years.

    Sync Pro was bought on June 7th 2014, and I haven’t used anything else since. It’s definately my most used app of all time, and it’s strange to think that it was 9 years almost to the day from my initial purchase till I uninstalled it from my phone and decided to quit Reddit.

    Can’t wait to get my hands on Sync for Lemmy, and will definately purchase it at once, as soon as I’m able.


  • This is great news. I’d have quit Reddit years ago if it hadn’t been for sync. Please let us know if you need beta testers, as I’m sure I’ll not the only one who can’t wait for this!

    I see I rated Sync for Reddit Pro 5 stars in the play store back in 2015, and it had definately been my favorite app since then. Thanks for all your hard work throughout the years.
