Does no-ads transfer? (lemmy.world)

I paid for no-ads Reddit back in the day but when I tried to transfer purchases nothing happened. Is this intentional? $30 seems steep for no ads but I'm a cheap bastard.

Sorry to ask a question that's probably been asked before, couldn't find an answer.

If you use dns.adguard.com for your DNS, I believe that blocks Sync's ads. At least, it did for the one day I used Sync for Lemmy before paying for no ads for life (to support the developer).

I bought sync for lemmy premium on my phone and the restore purchases on my tablet does not see this purchase. It shows ads. I won't be renewing if i have to pay for each device separately.

It shouldn't be per device. I have one sub on a phone and tablet right now. Have you tried to restore purchase on your tablet?

[–] Michal@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yeah, i keeps saying no purchases found

If you still can't get it working best to make a bug report on the official issue tracker.

Same Google play account on both devices? @ljdawson@lemmy.world

[–] Michal@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

Yes.

I tried it again after logging in to the app and it finally worked!

Hate to be that guy, but I cannot comprehend why anybody would pay THIRTY DOLLARS for an app tp use an already FOSS, federated, ad-free service lol Why not just use any of the other two dozen Lemmy apps

I think this is the thing to remember, right here:

We don't mind paying because we want to support the dev, so he can continue to make Sync for Lemmy as awesome for Lemmy as Sync for Reddit was. (And let's not forget that it started out awesome enough to bring a lot of users to Lemmy as soon as it was released)

I've heard/read a lot of FOSS-or-die people donate to their favorite devs or apps or projects, so why is it so hard to believe that some of us are okay with donating to this? I paid to get rid of ads in Sync before I ever saw a single one - because I wanted to support LJ. Dude has done awesome work.

@DARbarian @Moneo why do the other foss apps have absolutely terrible UX?

[–] Aux@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Because we have spare money and we love Sync! Also its developer is amazing and has a great track record.

Cause I like it at least $30 worth more than anything else I've tried.
