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!

    Good bloody grief! How did a reminder to support Lemmy devs and hosts get hijacked by Sync fans? Sync is a completely different topic.

      Yeah, maybe shouldn’t have mentioned sync in my post. I was just doing as a joke though.

        It’s a fine segue. I’m just surprised at how many people jumped at the chance to talk about a different topic and ignore your actual message.

        Thanks for the reminder, BTW. As soon as I find a permanent home, I’ll add them to the donations list.

        I think the post was fine, there is just so much unbridled emotion around the topic that is unnecessary.

        Sync users are annoyed getting blasted with FOSS this and that. Other client users do not need to ridicule Sync fans. Or behave like houlier than thou and teach Sync users how to spend rheir money.

          They are free to stay closed-source proprietary but prople have the right to voice their opinions.

          That is not holier than thou.

      The title literally references Sync…if it didn’t, your point would be stronger but I understand the spirit.

        It does, but only as a contrast to point out that others in the ecosystem also deserve support. OP’s post is literally a reminder that, without devs and hosts, Sync would have no reason to exist. It’s about the devs and hosts.
