Not full price but it was on sale at times for that cost.

Yep. I stand corrected. $1.01. Just check my payment history in Nov 2012.
edit: and this was full price during the early days, I think.
Damn...I paid $1.99 in 2013.
Someone pointed out the difference in active user counts, too. 2012 Reddit had ~43 million active users. Lemmy has an active user count somewhere around 60-90 thousand.
Point is, if you're a dev looking to recoup some target cost, you'd be looking at a way smaller and riskier user base than the one that Sync saw on Reddit.
Edit: I didn't even notice the dev essentially says that here https://lemmy.world/comment/2017279
Plus it's a more mature product at this point. Sure the back end changed, but a lot of features carried over from Reddit.
