With all this talk about sync's pricing... (lemm.ee)

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!

This is all I've been trying to get across, y'all won't be able to enjoy your sync if the admins can't pay for the servers. Seek out your home instance's donation links and come up out them pockets like y'all did for Lawrence. This applies to everyone else too, but since I can clearly see sync users commenting that they paid to remove ads or for lifetime access to upcoming features(like posting), I know they have the money ๐Ÿ˜‚

As far as .World goes, their lowest Patreon sub is $1 a month.

Can you not post from Sync presently?

[โ€“] LeylaLove@lemmy.fmhy.net 10 points 1 year ago

Yeah, no posting yet. That's my big issue with Sync on Lemmy so far. Monetization was implemented and there were multiple price increases all before some of the most basic features of Lemmy are even on the app. When everything else is already fully functional and free, it just becomes a harder sell than it was on Reddit.

One change I'd recommend is some sort of "Pay what you want" option for a subscription. If he did a minimum of $2 a month, it would be about the same cost but would make users feel like they have more agency over how much they pay. While I'm sure many people would just pay the minimum, giving users more choice will just lead to people who want to chip in more. We've all paid $5 for a humble bundle, but I'm sure a few of us have also chipped in $100 if it was the right charity or cause.

"Coming Soon" is what pops up at the bottom.

You can comment, just not post

Right. I should have clarified. You can't create a post in a community yet.
