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!

Seriously why do you care ?

Not the person you were replying to but it does get a bit much when a thread isn’t about Sync - like this one for example, which is trying to draw attention to funding Lemmy development and instance sustainability - and then it gets hit with people talking about how much they love Sync and they’re happy to pay for it.

You realize this branch started with someone adding 0 content about supporting the server or lemmy?

I’m not sure if this is your first time using threaded conversation based software but that’s really not how a thread works.

This is what I see in Jerboa.

Is that not the first response to OP on this branch?

Again this is organic. A large influx of sync users started being active on Lemmy. It will fade out in a matter of days.

I understand the sentiment but honestly feel like people are creating unnecessary drama. This is just a temporary trend just like we had days and days of beans meme which was also mildly annoying after 5/6 days.

True, drama hits everywhere, but it can easily be avoided in a post about the importance of supporting lemmy development and instance sustainability by not going on that post to comment how much you personally love a for-profit app. Or any app in fact.

They are both the submission. Unfortunately OP made sync’s cost part of the topic and the pivot point into a reasonable ask.

Headlines matter and cannot be completely separated from the entirety of the message.
