This perfectly explains the demise of BlackBerry phones too.

Connect is much like Sync. In fact, I uninstalled Sync and went back to Connect.

I am aware of the scenario. Sync for Lemmy is not just relaunching into a fresh world here. The dev shouldn’t come in with unreasonable pricing. Not when we can use very nice apps such as Connect instead for free, and ad free.

Inflation is awful. Gas as gone up 18%. Food about 20%. But $8 to $26 is a percentage increase of 225%.

I don’t find your example valid, sorry.

What provinces are you two? I wonder if that’s a factor.

It did not cost me $26 CDN. Maybe $8.

No, we’re paying to remove ads. And $26 CDN to remove ads feels really high when I paid $3.69 to remove ads in Boost and $4.49 to remove ads in Relay in 2019.

I like how you bothered to speak of supporting the dev yet mentioned how to stop ads with a VPN based blocker.

You were supposed to ignore, you rebel!

No, I meant the instance itself. The server. The one who runs lemmy.ca is here in Canada with me.

It’s like when playing a game; You choose servers closet to you for the lowest ping time.

The other reason I neglected to mention was I like to support local. 😎

Agreed. I went with lemmy.ca since I’m Canadian and the instance is in my country.

I also heard Lemmy should perform a little quicker for me too this way.

I’m loving Connect for Lemmy right now, but certainly curious to see how this turns out! Sync was my go-to app for Reddit.

Instance based isn’t something I knew would apply. I have an avatar setup which shows up desktop. But not here. If you have one, I don’t see it either. Weird.

Not a Star Wars fan, eh? 😆

Hello, fellow Canadian from lemmy.ca ! 😀

We’ve spoken on here a couple of times before. But you’re probably getting inundated with users to keep track of everyone. 🙂

I’m using Connect for Lemmy right now. I got the newest update from yesterday. I don’t see anyones profile pics…

Connect for Lemmy is my go to. The dev just released an update too with a ton more features. It’s working great and I like it more than WefWef.
