      People in general are very interested in the politics of who deserves recognition (in whatever form) over others. Fundamentally it’s about an instinct towards “fairness.”

      No. But focusing on supporting one single app instead of the platform is not sustainable for the platform. This meme is just a reminder to support the platform as well.

        I haven’t seen a single call to action to donate to Lemmy other than the static sidebar on desktop. Something like that would be far more helpful than complaining about previous Sync users continuing to donate to Sync. Nothing is being taken from Lemmy, Sync already had a big user base and is bringing many of them over here thanks to the app. Let’s call to action to them to donate to instances instead of complaining.

          Accurate. I used Sync for Reddit until they were forced out. I then switched to Sync for Lemmy for the familiar interface, the ease of setup, etc. Sync literally brought me to Lemmy.

          Since then I looked around and still prefer this app. On a side note: why does the UI for Voyager on Android look like some old version of iOS?

          Hate all you want but Sync being popular is a good thing for Lemmy adoption.

        But you are the one focusing on supporting one single app?

        Would you have ever posted something like this is sync didn’t come out? Why didn’t you post something like this before sync came out?

        I agree with you. It’s not to attack sync users, it’s just to remind them that there’s an entire ecosystem dependent on donations
