Sync UI/UX are carried over from years of refinement as a Reddit client with full native controls. It now mostly just has a different API and service layer wired in for Lemmy. Definitely not a simple web view app.
I’m all for people liking a certain UI/UX and supporting the dev but seriously, putting ads on fucking Lemmy? This is just so wrong
What’s the point on not using reddit’s mobile app then? I was using a 3PA because I couldn’t stand the ads and now comes someone to put ads on an app for Lemmy jfc
Exactly. And with it, it brought an army of ad-loving nuggets (from Reddit I’d say by the way they reply so defensive to me, just look at the downvotes).
If instead they could appreciate and donate some of their hard earned money to all the devs of those instances… Instead of getting rid of ads on an non-ad platform (yeah, that’s dumber than Trump).
I’m 99% sure this army has been bought by Stync to promote their app. They’re making 100$ of those subscriptions. An army like this doesn’t cost much in comparison.
I’m not crying. Just pointing out the hypocrisy of paying to get rid of ads on an (previously) ad-free platform. Pretty damn sure who to blame for that crap.
Aside from the polish, it’s also the familiar UX that many of us have used for a decade. It just feels familiar & right now!
Ehh ill give it a look. I generally avoid apps that are just a website.

It just adds ads that you can pay for to have it removed. Sync is piggybacking on the opensource devs.

You love paying for the trackers, I love the downvotes.
