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!

and/or the people keeping your home instance.

And if you want to do both: my instance is a commercial one, part of the suite of services that provided by Communick. I'm pledging to give 20% of any eventual profits to the teams of the projects that I host there.

The plans are really cheap, and they get even cheaper if you purchase a "group package".

With all the talk about the big instances not managing to keep up with the influx of users, I'd ask you to consider joining or spreading the word about my work and what I am proposing as alternative model for a sustainable growth of the Fediverse.

If I were in your shoes, I'd run this back as a separate post in the same community, because a lot of people could be very interested in this idea, but you dropped it in a somewhat volatile comment section.

It's written very well though!

Thank you, but I guess that the fans from lemmy.world are not too happy about it. It's being downvoted like crazy.

I get that cash is a hot topic, but leveraging off Sync (even if coded) makes Sync the topic.

For now, that's a polarizing topic.

Thank you for the suggestion. I will do so. :)

Interesting approach, could be a good solution for some of the issues mentioned in this thread.
