A new platform like Lemmy needs to establish trust and reliability for a certain time period before it can expect people to give back something. Something that the Sync developer has established already for a decade now.
Assuming that Lemmy continues to flourish well, I will be perfectly happy to donate to Lemmy, in fact I'm quite sure that in the long run I'll donate a lot more to Lemmy than the one time purchase cost of Sync.
Oh no my $20 for a lifetime purchase of removing ads from an app I've enjoyed using for like a decade. 🥱
I think the point of the post is ain't nobody donating $20 to the Lemmy platform or host or other apps

I agree. As an immigrant from reddit, I have noticed a lot of server instability. It doesn't give me a warm fuzzy feeling about the future of Lemmy.
