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!
NLnet paid them for every feature they launched, but with the explosive growth, they’ve been focusing on refactoring the codebase and making it more scalable, which doesn’t count as a “feature” I guess.
Reminds me of the corporate idea of software where new features are more important than quality.
It’s like having a garden where you just spread new plants out and ignore the ones that don’t feel good where they are.
