Unless anyone knows another reason for this impressive increase in comments? Seems to roughly coincide with Sync launching. If thats the case, just goes to show the importance of good third party apps.

EDIT: Looks like a confusingly labeled graph and I think this is total comments. I have no idea why that spike could exist though.

    Waiting for the one time payment to get rid of ads. Paid it on reddit, will (probably) pay it on lemmy.

      Wdym? There’s currently two one time payments. Ultra lifetime removes ads and, shockingly, “Remove ads” also removes ads

        The money will come if the app is version 1.0 with all essential features. Not earlier. I do not like paying for stuff that is “promised”. Linus from LTT mentioned it many times and I stand behind it.

        Same with promised DLCs and early access.

          You know what, you have a good point with that. I do that for other things too, so it only makes sense that it would still apply.

          Bethesda’ Fallout 76 is a prime example of why it can be a bad idea to preorder. I wasn’t one of the people who did, but I remember that there was a pretty big outrage over what people ordered vs what they actually received. Before that happened, I was more naive and believed that some companies cared too much about their image to pull stunts like that. I don’t think people even got the correct bag that was supposed to come with the game. Nylon will never be the same as canvas.

            Just the last 5 years feel like a speedrun by every major company to go to absolute hell.

          It’s in v23.x currently. Not v0.23. Nor is it mentioned anywhere on the app store or in the app that it’s still in beta and missing essential features.

          What features are promised exactly? As far as I can tell all the same features from the reddit app are here and working.
