Afternoon everyone,

I wanted to go over a few points related to pricing, stats and the roadmap

Pricing

1. Sync for Lemmy is completely free with ads (the same as Sync for Reddit)

2. You can remove ads in the account picker or drawer for a one time fee of ~$20

3. Sync Ultra also removes ads but it's not required

4. I'll be working on regional prices over the coming weeks

There are now 24k installed users up from 100 the previous day!

I'm going to be spending the next few days going through all of the comments / messages and fixing any crashes.

As always thanks for the support and hope you're liking Sync!

Edit: testing edit

Afternoon all,

Sync for Lemmy (Android) is now available for pre-registration on Google Play.

I'm currently working with 100 internal testers to add the final parts / resolve any issues and should be ready to go live within the next week.

I'll be emailing everyone that signed up with the previous form today too.

Cheers,

Lj

Morning all, Just a quick update to say I'm making good progress with the development and we just hit 24k email signups!
