Basically, title, here is a link to the Reddit thread for people curious: https://archive.ph/6mObB

I'm quite surprised with the neutral to positive reactions, which also show that some people will probably never leave Reddit.

Multiple years of Relay Pro and last night was upted with the monthly paid option which I am strongly not into. Uninstalled as soon as it showed up and downloaded Boost for Lemmy, so far so good. Few issues here and there but nothing major

Yup same. Although I could do with the silver subscription at € 2,29 a month, I still skipped it and moved on to the one-time paid Boost for Lemmy. Feel sorry for dBrady though. He put a lot of effort into making the best Reddit app imo and now he's forced to charge his users and hand over 90% to those greedy a-holes.

Check out lemmy sync as well! Excellent app. Also don't tell anyone but if you use the "list" display mode (instead of cards as default) on the free version, it doesn't show any ads.

I use Connect, it's completely open source, no tracker no ads etc... stable and easy to use.

Holy shit the post density... you might've just made me switch from Connect

Nearly the same story here. I saw the ads in boost and decided to switch to liftoff. Maybe the paid version of boost is better. There's no way I'll pay for a monthly subscription.

I have tried a few and Connect is my favoriyso far.
