Memes

Do you people just hate anyone who receives money?

I saw an earlier post that showed Lemmy's recent rapid growth followed by a plateau and then slight decline. My feeling is that there is a very LOUD minority of Lemmy users that are trying to act as self-anointed gatekeepers and they're bringing the platform down as a direct consequence. It makes the platform look petty and small to new and existing users alike. If the top posts are continually about shaming other users then this platform isn't going to last. Let's focus on building communities and having interesting conversations rather than one upping each other.

Oh fuck off.

This whining is so pathetic.

It's more like one dev made the best user experience on lemmy, so people give him money. At least that's the case for me.

this is dumb, sync is free

Hey OP why don't you start by sharing your donation receipts to Lemmy?

Leave reddit cause you can't use your preferred app anymore. Come to Lemmy, and get beat over the head for your choice of preferred app.

Who let spez make a Lemmy account?

Willing to bet the lemmy platform is more likely to get support from the type of person that would also pay for an app like sync than it is to get money from people that like to grandstand like OP.

Why would people do this? We want the hughest amount of users we can, and for most people to believe in FOSS or even copyleft philosophy, but this just pushes people away. Just use whatever app you like best and maybe donate to incentivize the app you believe in. But to just relenlessly mock non-FOSS apps only hurts the community and doesn't foster growth.

I downloaded Sync and thought wow nice ui, maybe I sould buy the adless version. Then I thought wtf, why is this so fucking expensive?

That developer guy must have gotten very rich if we all 20 Lemmy Sync users bought his app.

I wonder what's the percentage of Sync users vs the rest, seeing how passionate some are about Lemmy, it probably means they are inundating Lemmy developers with donations and just want us to do the same.

This image is awful. Rich assholes would never allow the pipe to drip.

No one is more hated than he who speaks truth

I've been a long time Sync user and paid for everything he asked when it was Reddit. I'm $5 a month for my instance - startrek.website.

Haven't yet kicked in for Lemmy Sync. I feel good about sending some cash to the dev, but don't love subscriptions and the lifetime payment of $100 is a little too rich for me.

So dumb

Voyager for the win

Why a antisemitic meme? Do you hate Jews?

I used Sync Pro for Reddit (RIP) and loved it, that being said, reddit was full of ads.

Lemmy is not by design, therefore I am sticking with Connect. (Let me know if there is something better, that isn't Sync!)

I do donate tho

I love when my feed is 50% sync fanboys trying to justify their shitware app to themselves

I prefer donating money to my Lemmy instance. it really helps them pay monthly VPS bills.

Sync is cool,but Jerboa is currently good-enough, while being free as in free beer, to wait until the recently released Infinity for Lemmy are being more robust.

Sync isn't even good. I hate how you have to tap on "exactly" the right spot on a post to see the comments. Drives me insane.

In the meantime I've been alternating between Infinity and Voyager (the APK version). Neither are perfect but at least navigation isn't as finicky. I miss Relay.
