I was looking forward to trying Sync today now that it’s live, but my enthusiasm was immediately dampened after seeing the “Data Safety” section on the Google Play store.

Liftoff has been great, and want to say thanks for making an awesome app. This will continue to be my daily driver.


Edit: for clarity, because the post got way bigger than I expected.

Sync looks like a fantastic app, and the dev/s should charge whatever they feel is fair for their efforts, even if that’s through the usual ads + ad tracking.

My intent was just to post here in /c/Liftoff to thank the Liftoff devs for managing to somehow offer an awesome app without any of that.

    Tons of more options and a faster and smoother interface. And moving subscriptions across instances is coming. And it has cloud sync.

    But I agree, it’s quite pricy for the extra bells and whistles.

      Migrating accounts across instances is a pending Lemmy core feature, the server part has to sort that out.

      Liftoff’s interface seems fast and smooth to me, only thing I might be missing is some sort of “multireddits” or Mastodon-like “timelines” to sort things out a bit better, but using multiple accounts kind of works too.

      moving subscriptions across instances

      The language on Sync Ultra is “Import / export subscriptions (Easily move between instances)”

        Well yeah, but I think the apis are enough. There are already utilities using those apis to copy subscriptions.
