Sync for reddit was also cheaper, but the market for a reddit app is much larger than Lemmy's. We'll see how boost and others will be priced, but I expect it will be pricier than the reddit version.

The RIF dev ended up going with some non-federated reddit alternative. I get it, probably a much less flooded market (we already have so many options for Lemmy). But a bummer nonetheless.

The RIF dev recently released an alpha for his Tildes app, Three Cheers for Tildes. It's in an earlier state than Sync but already quite usable.
