Its nice but its an ad supported experience, I'd rather just pay for the app than pay a monthly/yearly subscription. Good new option, just not one I'll be using specifically.
The subscription model is not a great idea considering lemmy is not as popular as reddit.
I hate ads and will never download an app that has ads for a platform that doesn't have ads, just so I have to pay to get rid of ads (which of course includes tracking you for the best ads).
"No added ads" is a non-feature.
I understand people wanting to support the dev, but is their code so bad that they really have to add ads to make money? Apollo never had ads.
You can either charge for good code or for no-ads.
Charging for no-ads on an opensource platform is just sad. Why not enrich instead?
Edit: Apollo was made for Reddit, some smug corp. and even they didn't have ads. Ads on opensource is misusing opensource.
Ads shouldn't even be a topic of discussion. Before Sync there were no ads related to Lemmy. How much harder can you piss in the face of all other people contributing.
