Not hating on open source, just let people use what fits their expectations and needs and stop deterring them with gatekeeping :P

UX = user experience

    I’m using Sync right now. I’ve tried a few different lemmy apps and this is the only one that actually works without bugs. Maybe because it’s a paid developers full time job and not just some free side project?

    I do wish it wasn’t a subscription. Apps are generally a flat fee.

      I love Sync but it’s worth noting some basic features aren’t implemented yet like submitting posts.

          To be fair, a lot of those people are Reddit refugees that fled to lemmy.world and were fairly removed to begin with. I’m honestly not even sure why they left Reddit to begin with.

      yeah I think I’ll go to the ad removal fee. it’s expensive but I use it a lot 🤷‍♂️

      I originally did the monthly sub because I didn’t have an option and that was the cheapest, it is kinda pricey but it’s light years ahead of what I was using

      also I’m a developer and I think the guy who made it has probably working like mad to make this, and if it’s his sole income and it got pulled out from under him… idk. it’s a gamble to not just go get a 9-5 and work on this instead

      bro has to eat and I already donate to my local instance.
