Are you replacing Reddit with Lenny?
Already did. Now I only visit Reddit to check out some niche communities that are not on Lemmy yet.

Non-competes are illegal in California and should be illegal everywhere else too.

Which proprietary software do you prefer over their open-source alternatives, and why?
It's just plain better than any other alternative. Better UI, better UX, better features, better customization, support for Monet... I could go on all day.

It's so nice to see them all growing, but this is just the truth, sorry.

I was using Thunder last week until Sync's open beta got approved and the User Experience and the interface of Thunder is nowhere near Sync. It's a night and day difference, and a difference that would have made me use Lemmy less and less.

Sync for Lemmy signup is now open
Signed up for Lemmy just because you're developing an app for it u/ljdawson. Can't wait.

IAP for ad removal will come soon. It's the first open-beta, give it some time.

Hard disagree. iOS UI/UX is sub par compared to Android. Consistent visuals and fancier animations don't mean that the UI is good.

Currently developing an Android app to sync subscriptions and saved posts between accounts
UI/UX designer here. Wouldn't mind spending a couple hours of my free time designing a better interface for you. Would be a fun project.

Splurging $20 on a Lemmy app with my country's currency devaluation is not going to work for me. Nothing against you or the app, the app is amazing and leagues ahead of the competition. But I'm not even sure if Lemmy will be the replacement for Reddit and how it'll all pan out after the hype wears off, so I'm going to wait for regional pricing for this one.

Chill, mate, it's open-beta. Sync Ultra was a thing on Sync for Reddit as well, which comes with features that need constant cash such as server maintenance etc. IAP for ad removal will come soon.

Hamilton and Leclerc disqualified from USGP

to disqualify 2 of the top cars just like this after the race kinda undoes the whole story of the race.
They can't check for plank wear before the race 😅
Additionally, if 2 out of 4 cars fail the test, maybe it's good to test all of them.
It's a random spot check. Not something that would be done to the entire grid. It's literally practically impossible to check for every rule on every car after or during every race, which is why random spot checks exist.

Sri Lanka, please. And thank you for your hard work. Seeing your Sync for Lemmy announcement in-app in Sync for Reddit is the reason I joined Lemmy.

Reddit Refugees on Lemmy, how are you guys liking lemmy so far?
Loving it. Reminds me of the olden days of Reddit where the communities were smaller but everyone was contributing more.
The bugs and the issues help sell the fact that it's a smaller community so even those don't bother me so much.

looking forward to the comments

The first part of localised pricing is now live
Super reasonable pricing in Sri Lanka. Will upgrade to Ultra Lifetime once (or if) you localise that. Keep being amazing and doing amazing work LJ! You rock.

That isn't a good justification to me.
You want developers who spent years studying design and development, to spend months developing an app, to just give that app away for free?
People like you are why more and more developers join big corporations for salaried position rather than trying to make it by themselves in the indie scene. Because they know they can't make it in the indie scene because you are too cheap to pay for their apps (either by buying the app, or by consenting to see ads)
If your app can't exist without ads then I don't believe it should exist at all.
Sync for Lemmy exists as a paid, ad-free version. The ad-supported version only exists for people who don't want to, or can't, buy the app.

Everything has LEDs now and they drive me nuts
My fan automatically turns off its LEDs after about 10 seconds. Good design FTW.
