I think now is a great time to remind everyone, like sync’s developer, Lemmy’s developers need to be paid too! The amount of time all the devs put into making lemmy exist, in my opinion, should be worth some of your money. If you can afford it, donating to the people who develop lemmy and/or the people keeping your home instance up will accelerate the incredible growth of lemmy!

    Yes, and if you want Lemmy to thrive, donate to your home instance admins and the Lemmy devs (read: not the same as an app developer) if possible.

    Edit: @dogebread has a point, “No” is abrasive. Adjusting.

      So abrasive. What you said is not in competition with the parent comment, so why the “no”? You mean to say “yes and” because we need both user engagement and longevity.

        I was focused on “things like sync are needed for lemmy to thrive”, lemmy can’t thrive if the servers aren’t covered financially.

        Lol, I did the same thing the sync users in the comments did and ignored most of the message.
