It’s not for everyone for sure especially if you’re looking for something FOSS. I’d rather use a FOSS app, but it was my Reddit app of choice for a really long time and I’m happy to give the developer a one-time $3.50 purchase to have that experience back. I can barely tell I’m not on Reddit.
Even if it’s just a stopgap solution, I’m all for Reddit app developers porting to Lemmy. Right now the open-source Lemmy apps all lack a lot of polish, so having paid options that offers a more polished experience for people coming over from Reddit is a plus for the platform’s engagement as a whole.

Donate to the FOSS apps instead then.
