With all this talk about sync's pricing...
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!

I’m poor I live in a third world country that is in the lowest possible in world economy
You don't have to explain if you can't! Don't feel bad. Supporting yourself should definitely come first. Hope you are doing alright.

Like every open source projects, you can donate with money or your time. Both are equally valuable. Promoting the project, helping new users, heck, even being pleasant and help fostering positive environment in the fediverse so new users feel welcomed is actually very valuable (especially given current reputation of fediverse citizens being especially harsh to new users).
I don't get where this reputation came from? I've had more positive interactions on Lemmy in the last month than I had on Reddit in the last 10 years, literally. I feel like this is the internet equivalent of Iceland, everyone must think it is a frozen hellscape, but then you get here and it is actually a really nice place to be.
To add to this, it can even be as simple as reporting bugs you find, whether that be with the Lemmy code itself or a client you're using.
And that's totally fine. That's the beauty of the internet, not everybody has to pitch in, and if you can't you shouldn't feel bad about it. There was a time when I was a starving college student and was doing the five finger discount on a very regular basis. We're glad you're here regardless.
My egalitarian FOSS is showing lol
Yeah, I do wish there was some form of regional pricing going on. Doesn't seem to be the case if the prices I'm seeing in my (also third world) country are anything to go by.

You're absolutely right, major brain fart on my part to assume that's what the person I responded to meant
According to his update I believe he'll be working on regional prices this week
FYI if you still want to show support, librepay allows you to give a "symbolic donation" of just $0.01 a week, or $0.52 a year
