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!

The last I read, the instance was already fully-funded through the end of the year.

Why is the notion that the instance is going under something lemmings keep bringing up? Yes... I understand the model. But it is fully funded - or was. Why are people acting like the instance is about to fail?

Should we start rumors that the instance is about the fail? Or... are recent facts useful, here?

Yes, there are other instances, but the preponderance of Sync users joined lemmy.world.
