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!
I don’t think it’s fair to call people cheap when I’m constantly seeing stuff about how much people are struggling financially. If people had more money to spare they’d care less about throwing it at random things.
