Sync Ultra is a very reasonable $17 a YEAR. YouTube Premium is reaching that per MONTH. I have sync downloaded and it was the first thing I did. Thanks lj for the beautiful app.
[EDIT: That was a poor comparison, as pointed out in the comments. Leaving it for discussion sake.
There are many counterpoints and actually good discussion happening down below. Even if you don’t agree, thanks for showing me a different perspective!
If you want to support Sync, make sure to support the Lemmy Devs and your instance holders as well!

For me it really just depends on how nice / impactful to my experience it is. I don’t pay for a git client because I’d rather just use the CLI, but I do pay for the JetBrains suite of tools because they are genuinely good (though I do still rock a decent vim setup for stuff that doesn’t need a full-blown IDE).
I have no problem paying for Sync because its a decent Lemmy client, and I also donate to the Lemmy project and pay for my own Lemmy instance (or rather, the server and resources that it uses to operate).
Really glad that even people here are prone to painting each other with swaths of a paintbrush, though.
