Afternoon everyone,

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

Pricing

Sync for Lemmy is completely free with ads (the same as Sync for Reddit)
You can remove ads in the account picker or drawer for a one time fee of ~$20
Sync Ultra also removes ads but it's not required
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!

I'll be working on this full time and plan to make this the best Lemmy app possible.

I think the pricing is fine if the quality matches it. Considering how much time we spend on our phones it could be great value for money.

I'm very curious to see how the advertising option works out for you, as currently I'm not aware of any lemmy sites with sustainable finance models.

Beehaw is currently financially sustainable.

I wouldn't call it financially sustainable. It pays for the servers, not for the labor.

No offense to beehaw, they're doing great work.

Most of FOSS doesn't pay for labor, its volunteers.

I bought Reddit Sync Pro way back when you gave out coupon codes for a discount when you first created it. (just found my receipt... November 2013 for ONE DOLLAR!!!) Used it for what was probably a decade for that low initial price and watched it just get better and better over time.

I assume that I'm going to be using Sync for Lemmy for a decade, and I have zero issue with the upfront ad free cost.

Aside from regional pricing issues, I think some of these potential customers just don't realize how much they're going to be getting from you for this price.

Ultra Lifetime is really tempting...
