Yeah there's definitely a bit of a circle jerk happening with Sync. People proclaiming it was the best Lemmy app ever, while up until a few days ago you couldn't even submit a post.
Edit: realised I even got downvoted for pointing out Sync doesn't have that functionality. How ironic that the only reason I can see that is because I'm not using Sync haha
People have to justify paying premium money for a beta in every way they can. Imagine Boost releases and is better in every way, and people have spent upwards of 120 dollars on Sync. I don't understand the rush.
Edit: Just out of curiosity, you running Voyager or smth else?
Voyager. I've tried a couple others but keep coming back to it.
Yeah with the cost of Sync. I don't think it's right. This isn't Reddit. I've donated money to support a local instance and I'll donate to Voyager as well. I'm for supporting developers. But this is an ad free platform, so it feels wrong to pay so much for an app that adds ads to it.
Yeah I agree. Creating a problem and taking "donations" to solve it is a bit sketchy especially when the instances themselves could use that funding. And when the whole idea of the platform is the other direction.
