A lifetime purchase option has been added. A little pricy though imho.

There is now a lifetime option to remove the ads. Bit too expensive for me though, so I'll live with the ads or use Jerboa.
Couldn't agree more.
Just downloaded. I have not been this happy for months.
Never used one, (can't afford to right now), but I adore the idea of the smaller flip ones. I would definitely take one if they reduced the crease in the future, it's too noticeable right now.
If they embrace ActivityPub and then start adding their own proprietary features that are enough for users to switch over, and Mastodon doesn't, then it's not an "evil agenda", it's Meta adding an essential feature that the users want and Mastodon isn't able to add and ultimately Meta making a better product.
If Mastodon or Lemmy are truly superior and the future, then the product should be the best in the market, not DUE to federation but DESPITE it.
That's one thing that everyone here forgets because right now federation is hard to get into, and the only people here are those who put the effort in because they believe in federation. That is the reason for their tolerance in an inferior product. But if that's the case, then it will never be mainstream as long as the product is inferior.
The entire point of ActivityPub is that it's open and EEE-proof. If the users leave it for something proprietary but better, then it isn't EEE, it's just a better product.
Simply being open source is not an achievement in itself. The platform has to be user friendly, stable and future-proof. Most FOSS and federated alternatives create a platform and then endlessly harp on federation like that's the end. No, that's the beginning. The point is to make a product better than Big Tech WHILE maintaining federation and Foss status. THAT is what makes a platform EEE proof.
Is it Fortune500?
I think that if we lord the fact that our platform is open for everyone, we need to walk the talk.
Also, when people realise that there is a way to enjoy the same content as Threads but ad-free, they'll switch over.
Also, what's the issue with remaining federated with Meta? The app privacy concerns don't apply to us if we use Lemmy apps. They can't push ads to us. Our entire userbase is a rounding error for them. At least give it a chance, and don't be pretentious.
The sanest comment here.
It doesn't have an algorithm and isn't cross platform.
Excellent review, helped me a lot in deciding my app of choice.
