But it’s fine if I cost an app dev their time and instances money and give nothing to no one? Genuine question because I don’t understand all the sync hate.

I have a second account on lemdro.id. It’s smaller and mostly android focused but its my main account most days. If world is having issues I don’t even think about it I just switch over 😂

I personally stopped browsing Reddit once getting sync. It just FEELS right.

What’s bananas about $3/mo and 17/yr? Hell I pay 12 bucks a year for unlimited email aliases from Firefox 😂

As long time sync user I’m very disappointed I didn’t see the remove ads button before I went and signed up for ultra. Wish I could still buy the permanent ad free while being an ultra subscriber. I tie my ultra to my Google play balance and depends on how much opinion rewards decides to give me at any given time.

Lol she actually wants to go watch the movie about child trafficking. Personally I want to drive 3 hours to watch Oppenheimer on 70mm because I didn’t know it was even a thing before this movie. Though all imax was created decently equal 😂

That my outlook on it. I bought the pro version in like 2013 for 4 or 5 bucks. Didn’t give him a penny again until ultra came out and I got the monthly on that for a grand total of like $20. I can see why it may be a turn off for new users but for me it’s just paying back what I already got from LJ.

What do I do if my woman does that though?

Personally I would use a password manager for at work as well. Bitwarden can generate 8 character passwords. Easy enough to remember and if you forget it’s right there on your phone.

Yeah personally when I had it I either also got sick at the same time or it royally fucked up my whole body. Like bed ridden for 2 days and throwing up. Ruined half my vacation 😂 lesson learned though.

Been around since I was 13 at the very least. Currently 31. My be regional or specific to the US though. I’m from western PA for reference.

Right. Someone will just go and make the same community on a difference instance.

I disagree about the natural talent one. From my perspective thats the obvious first pick. At work I’m currently training to be a Crane Operator and struggle busing hard with it. Like yeah I could use it to get muscles but thats not even where I first went just because imo the ability to quickly learn a new skill is invaluable. imagine being a natural at negotiating business dealings to get a favorable outcome for your side. once you figure out how to turn your natural talent into money a lot of the other things will be able to fall into place.

I thought that was it but when I sopied it it has that. Idk what fixed it but after copying a suggested instance and applying that then switching to lemdro.id worked. 🤷‍♂️

This was on Firefox by the way.

Just installed. I can’t set lemdro.id as my home instance because it doesn’t match the proper formating. I even tried just copying directly from the address bar :(

edit: I copied lemmy.world from the suggestions and deleted lemmy.world and put in lemdro.id and it worked. idk what I was doing wrong the first time.

Oh that’s for sure a big expense for most people myself included but if you go to the open collective link above the estimated budget for lemmy.world this year is only 16k ish. and thats to host one of if not the biggest instance right now. if every user donated a dollar the instance could run possibly for years.

Thats fair. I didn’t really even get into Reddit until 2012. So I probably never noticed plus I mostly browsed on Sync on my phone and never really dealt with the website itself which imo is where things really went down hill.

Thanks for asking this. This is something I’ve been serious about for awhile. Turns out while it’s expensive in the grand scheme of giant website it’s not that expensive money wise. Though it is very time expensive.

Love it since this has been a hang up for me in the past but how do you handle when someone is logged into multiple instances? I’m on mobile right now can’t download and check. Is there a way to select your home instance inside of the extension or does it know “know” which instance you are logged into?

Before I even posted this I actually read the last sentence and realized you answered my question posting this anyway incase anyone else skims then goes for the comments and to help engagement 😂 great work looking forward to installing it.

Any chance you are still around to tell everyone why you guys were so ready to leave reddit w years before the rest of us? 😂
