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!

      My guess is they mean in the sense of “support creaters as you’d like, but don’t throw all your money into it just for them to pay attention to you for a second”

        Well then they probably should’ve said that instead of saying something unrelated to the point ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      Is that what gift subs are? I’ve never understood that. Is it like a tip?

        Subs are kinda like tip, except you get something in return. Usually its emotes you can use on any stream on twitch. Some streamers can make other stuff like sub only discord channel but its optional.

        Gift subs are exactly the same except you give the benefits to some other chaters.
