Use Lemmy, y'all!
Nooo not like that!
"use my instance please"
"No not like that!"
Holy fuck this is what we left Reddit to avoid...
Lemmy had a garbage web UI. And the other apps I have used are not nearly as smooth as sync.
You think Sync users don't also donate? I paid for sync and donated to Lemmy's development. Considering donating to my 2 main instances as well.
I mean isn't that true for literally every user that doesn't pay? I'm not sure why we are mad at Sync users when we don't even have a strong call to action to donate to instances.
But it's fine if I cost an app dev their time and instances money and give nothing to no one? Genuine question because I don't understand all the sync hate.
My lemmy server is selfhosted (pawb.social), and the running costs are pretty negligible after initial costs.
We get plenty of donations honestly, but that is obviously not universal.
Maybe Lemmy instances should bill third party apps for API calls, hmmm?
How much has liftoff, jeroba, connect, etc paid?
Jeroba is the official app...
Ok so they've paid just as much is what you're saying
