I bought the subscription before even logging in, because there was no other option and I wanted to instantly support the development. There's an option without a subscription? ๐ซ

Where are the ads everyone's talking about? I haven't seen any and I haven't paid anything or will they only start when it's out of beta?
As far as far as I've seen, they're on the feed but are currently showing up as black boxes. Maybe the ads aren't fully running yet?
Edit. Nevermind, I guess I randomly hit "do not consent" during setup Another edit: now they're working. Must have been from today's update

It really is tempting to click on that $99 lifetime sub. I kinda feel like I got way more than my money's worth out of Sync for Reddit, and I'll use it for many more than the five years it would take to pay more for yearly subs.

This comment was posted from Sync for Lemmy ๐. I didn't use sync for reddit (I was a boost user) but trying it out now.
Can anyone confirm if the imgur album link in the comment below opens like it should in the app?

When I click on the link, I get a toast with an error and then it uses the internal browser to open the link on the website:

I used sync for years and bought the pro version, what's the roadmap for former buyers of the the pro version for Reddit? Will we be able to get a discount for the ad free version?

I think this setting should be on by default if sidebar navigation is turned on. It's a real game changer for this app in my opinion!
Settings shortcut: Experimental > Sliding panel style drawer
I haven't found any issues with it despite it being experimental. The only downside is that I now want it in every app that isn't Sync...
Edit: If I can make a change request. Could the search bar in the side panel be made into a pill shape like in the bottom drawer? Would modernize the look quite nicely imo.

Loving the app. I've been using Connect for the past few weeks after trying Jerboa and also just storing the website as a PWA on my phone and they just don't compare for me.
Only thing I am looking forward to left is the ability to submit posts from the app. I haven't submitted a lot to Lemmy, but I feel like I'll be able to post more when Sync gets that feature added.
Thanks for all the fish, Lj!
Huh. I swear ad removal was $13 yesterday. Did that change? $20 is quite an increase over that

Loving the app so far. Is there anyway to view communities by size? My instance has a "communities" page that shows local and all communities by user count. Is this on the roadmap?

My previous comment of praise got eaten by Lemmy. (draft saved, submitting comment, error) is that a sync bug or on the Lemmy side? I was excited that it at least saved a draft of the comment but it doesn't seem to be an option. Feature request?
The gist of my lost comment was that this app is great and I probably never would have found Boost had I come across this first. It's going to be a hard choice when boost finally comes out. Congratulations on a successful launch! I will be switching between this and summit for the time being

Bought sync for redd years ago. Just bought Sync for lemmy. Lj deserves every cent
I've been an alpha testing on sync since the first release. It's amazing how much has been done and improved over time. I loved Sync for Reddit and I'm gutted that Reddit has pull the plug on 3rd apps.
I'm very happy Sync is back, and also Boost is on the horizon. 3rd party apps are what built reddit to be the success it was.
I've paid for ad removal, and likely will pay for ultra when the time is right for me.
I know I'll use this for many years to come and if Lemmy doesn't work out, we can try again somewhere else!
@ljdawson, keep up the good work and producing apps we love! One small thing... will you fix my 2 column portrait bug now? :)
Loving the app, I was also an avid boost user but I've been really enjoying Sync! One feature I'd like to suggest is moderator actions, I've installed (what I think is) ever android Lemmy app and none of them have any moderator support. Having this feature would immediately be a big pull to anybody who moderates a community and would greatly help moderating from mobile.
