I've only noticed it on the 'slide' view mode so far.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I just switched and saw it immediately. What a disappointment :(

That was the case with the original Sync, no surprise here.

Although there was the option to purchase Pro as a one-time fee. This one unfortunately only has a subscription option (which I'm not too keen on).

Edit: ljdawson has confirmed there will be an one-time payment options for both Ultra and ad removal!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Screw subscriptions. They're invariably a rip off and I'm not made of money.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Same.. I rarely buy apps. I'm definitely not subscribing to something.

And not to an app to browse a social network, when there's free alternatives without ads

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Afaik a one-time-purchase to get rid of the ads is planned.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It'll probably have a one time fee option. The dev must know that not everyone will want to pay a subscription. I paid for removing ads on Sync for Reddit and I'll happily do it again, so hopefully there will be an option of just removing ads. I don't use either Lemmy or Reddit enough to justify paying a subscription, even though I really respect the dev.
