I think now is a great time to remind everyone, like sync’s developer, Lemmy’s developers need to be paid too! The amount of time all the devs put into making lemmy exist, in my opinion, should be worth some of your money. If you can afford it, donating to the people who develop lemmy and/or the people keeping your home instance up will accelerate the incredible growth of lemmy!
I honestly can’t understand the reason behind such a childish move.
There are multiple Lemmy clients, one of them, jerboa, is even from the original Lemmy developers. Just use another app, why would you crack Sync if not because you want to use THAT app but not pay for the extra convenience and features it offer.
Sometimes I really think the userbase deserves nothing but walled gardens and ads-only socials as they clearly can’t even recognize the work needed, let alone willingly pay for it.
