Hey ljdawson@lemmy.world or any other mod/dev/anybody.

Is Sync still a thing? I saw you haven’t commented on lemmy for 2 months now. There are no updates here or on the Play Store. Lemmy v0.19 is rapidly coming with breaking changes. Are you prepared for that?

Thanks in the name of the community!

    Well, I can confirm I’m using it to write this comment, very smooth experience for me.

    I’m using the free version, so far any ads I’ve seen are not intrusive and tbh fairly rare

      Also on free version, also haven’t seen a single ad.

      However, this long absence that LJ is renowned for highlights the reason paying £100 is too steep for things like Ultra or whatever it’s called.

        Tbh I think that pricing level was really only for the long time fans who wanted to significantly contribute.

          With those prices, the only people who will pay for it are (some) of the long time fans. I can’t believe anyone new to Lemmy will ever go to Sync when there are so many alternatives. Those prices just scare people away. I’m pretty sure he would earn more if it was like $1-2/year.

          I am a long time fan, but the price is just too high to justify for me, unfortunately.

          That’s a premium tier price tag for less than premium tier service (in the sense of long patches of development silence).

            Yeah, I couldn’t justify dropping that much for lifetime but a buck a month I can swing for a bit.
