With all this talk about sync's pricing... - lemm.ee

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 [https://join-lemmy.org/donate] and/or the people keeping your home instance up will accelerate the incredible growth of lemmy!

Y’all just seething bc others are enjoying things. This is just cringe. This is not a zero sum game. You can donate to lemmy devs/instance devs/fav. app devs and whatever else you like too.

And let’s not pretend this is new. You could see a lot of memmy users being excited about their app too. I don’t know what the hell they are talking about. But I’m glad they have an app they like that much.

Just. Let. People. Enjoy. Things.

i dont think theres anything wrong with sync enjoyers loving their app but i have to agree that the money would be better spent on actually keeping instances alive
They think its about the app itself and not about a reminder that if lemmy instances aren’t funded, Sync will be desolate. Which will mean that the $5.00-$1xx they may or may not spend on Sync would be for an effectively dead app.

The last I read, the instance was already fully-funded through the end of the year.

Why is the notion that the instance is going under something lemmings keep bringing up? Yes… I understand the model. But it is fully funded - or was. Why is the instance about to fail?

Should we start rumors that the instance is about the fail? Or… are recent facts useful, here.

Yes, there are other instances, but the preponderance of Sync users joined lemmy.world.

It’s been an entire 24 hours bruh. I’m not reading that, I’ve moved on, have a good day.

Makes sense. No one is entitled to the labor of others.

Applies here, too.
