This is probably going to change in the near future. A lot more functionality is being added to Echo+, and so a lot of this stuff will probably change soon. A lot of users however choose to only read content from platforms such as Lemmy. So the base app (free) focuses on reaching to reach what the maximum amount of users do on these platforms.
I truly appreciate your feedback tho. It's something I really do take to heart, and will continue to think about and assess. Any updates will be posted at !echo@eventfrontier.com.
Thanks for the answer. Was asking mostly out of surprise, as I hadn’t seen that in a social media app before. You obviously know your app better than anyone else, but would suggest offering a basic but feature complete app as the base, and then things like extras of themes, multiple accounts, enhanced search, etc as the paid version.
Thank you for taking the time to provide such valuable and constructive feedback. I truly appreciate it. Some of these ideas are actually already on the roadmap which is why I’m considering making some of those creation features free.
Stay tuned to this community for updates!
