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!

if you're not greedy you would pay lemmy dev, and whatever lemmy app you use

Relying on the donation of others to the Lemmy dev and instances to make profits is way more greedy. It is even parasitic on one side.

People not donating is a thing but they don't make profits. It's a huge difference on the greedy scale.
