Unless anyone knows another reason for this impressive increase in comments? Seems to roughly coincide with Sync launching. If thats the case, just goes to show the importance of good third party apps.

EDIT: Looks like a confusingly labeled graph and I think this is total comments. I have no idea why that spike could exist though.

    I actually switched to sync too. But still think the prices are nuts and they need to come down for me to pay for it.

      Would love to support the developer but definitely not at those prices. I block ads anyway, so I never see any.

            Most people do.

            In 2019, there were approximately 22.8 billion credit, debit, and prepaid cards in use worldwide. This number is expected to reach 29.31 billion by 2023. The number of general purpose and private label debit cards increased 3.8% to 6.28 billion between 2019 and 2020. In 2021, the overall credit card in circulation reached 64 million. According to a Forbes Advisor survey from February 2023, 54% of consumers use a physical or virtual debit card and 36% of consumers use a physical or virtual credit card.

            And the vast majority of those not using them are not valuable as customers.

      I’m going back and forth still between Connect and Sync. Two reasons: can’t post from Sync yet and 2) lots of failed to load image bugs in Sync (which oddly enough, preview works fine for those images that failed to load).

      Waiting for the one time payment to get rid of ads. Paid it on reddit, will (probably) pay it on lemmy.

        Wdym? There’s currently two one time payments. Ultra lifetime removes ads and, shockingly, “Remove ads” also removes ads

          The money will come if the app is version 1.0 with all essential features. Not earlier. I do not like paying for stuff that is “promised”. Linus from LTT mentioned it many times and I stand behind it.

          Same with promised DLCs and early access.

            It’s in v23.x currently. Not v0.23. Nor is it mentioned anywhere on the app store or in the app that it’s still in beta and missing essential features.

            What features are promised exactly? As far as I can tell all the same features from the reddit app are here and working.
