And just like that, all the other lemmy clients mean nothing to me. Just the handling of media posts is next level compared to the other guys.
That's what I thought, but not keen on it having ads/subscription model. I'd be happy to pay one off but that isn't available (at least yet). I understand the guy needs to eat, but right now I for me personally there isn't a value add vs. the FOSS clients.
Remove ads option, not Ultra(subscription). $20 is a bit steep at first glance but... I used the reddit version for years. Gonna be gladly paying it once my Google Rewards account gets a bit closer.
It was something like $3.89 for the pro back in the days.
Sync Pro for Reddit cost $4.99 and had 100,000+ downloads. Total active Lemmy users is probably less than 100,000 users right now, and only a small fraction of them might consider buying a Lemmy app, so the price hike is understandable.
4.99 was when he raised the price. It was cheaper.
I understand the fact Lemmy has a smaller user basse. The new price is a bit too much. With a small user base, the competition is greater.
I paid $2 in 2013.
And at the beginning, it was like 1$. When you have the full history, it looks like another raise of the price.
