A poll in the search results, what the heck?!
I was thinking about going this route, pass got me interested in the Proton ecosystem, was thinking about getting the mail plus subscription as well. But it looks like that's a no go :(
Same here but after 6 years of using Sync I know what I get out of Sync, my hesitation is only in regard to the Lemmy project itself.
I paid €2.69 in 2017 xD
Too soon, being taken advantage of?
The developer has a track record, we already know the product being delivered and the terms.
The fan base are the people who were already using Sync for Reddit.
The people who like me had used Sync for Reddit since 2017. Sync always had ads and the inherent tracking, I paid 2.69€ in Jan 2017 to remove ads and support the development.
(When In 2022 the developer added another support level where you had access to early betas, I paid again 4.99€, because I'm an early adopter and wanted to support again because I never went the subscription route)
I have also setup a monthly donation towards my Lemmy instance.
It might feel too soon because Ljdawson moves fast.
I am using it right now. Moments ago I was reading a post on a DnD community and had to do a double take, it felt like I was on Reddit, but it was just a bout of nostalgia after years of using Sync for Reddit.
The familiarity, the gorgeous material UI, but now with 100% less spez!!
Thank you for bringing Sync to Lemmy Ljdawson!!
There are some communities where most of the content is posted by bots copying posts from Reddit.
While the intention of the people running the bot is to generate more content while the community is small, from what I see across Lemmy, it looks like people tend to engage less with posts created by bots.
If this really is about that post sharing an image of /u/Im_Cherry_Blossom I'm a bit on the fence about this, but I leave it to Ada's discretion.
Was using Sync pro, moved here a few weeks ago and never looked back at reddit since.
You know how the dimples on a golf ball help reduce the air resistance?
sorry xD
It might be a case of not having "undetermined" selected under language in your profile settings.

They? Spez did xD
It just happened that quite a few redditors found that the experience using Lemmy was already good enough and started suggesting it.
And here we are :shrug:
Btw considering that Lemmy is open source, yes, they do need free beta testing. They even need more contributors to handle the development and bug fixing.
I'll start, here is my level 50 Necromancer, currently playing through the campaign, starting act 4 now.
Closeup:
Haven't transmogrified anything yet, I think it looks cool, but there are some nice headgear designs, with human or Khazra skull motifs.
Share screenshots of your characters!
What gear are you wearing? Do you bother to transmog or do you just wear your gear as you loot it? Have you bought anything form the shop?
Yes, putting the !calgary@lemma.ca into the search bar prompts our instance server to create the connection and start federating that community.
When I searched for !calgary@lemma.ca, only your post came up, but the spinning circle on the search button didn't stop.
Gave it about 30 seconds and searched again, the server now retuned the community as well.
This comment from Ada explains it as well: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/comment/196367
Hear me out… I’ve lurked on reddit for 14 years.
At the beginning, many companies were aware of unofficial communities about their products, but didn’t touch reddit with a ten foot pole, but as reddit became more mainstream and some companies started monitoring unofficial reddit communities to provide customer support and interact with the community, some even embraced reddit and declared the subreddits “official”.
I imagine that some of the early reluctance derived from them having to rely on reddit to host their community. (and now we see how much reddit is trustworthy, also at the time reddit was on the “news” only for the worst reasons)
But now they have the chance, given that lemmy and other reddit alternatives have captured some internet buzz, to adhere to Lemmy and spin their own instances and host their communities.
This would help bring more instances into the fediverse by companies who can bill it to their marketing and community budgets.
I would love to see:
- lemmy.riotgames.com/c/lol
- lemmy.blizzard.com/c/wow
- etc…
We have looped around and we are back to vBulleting and phpBB times. But this time it’s federated.
