      There are other methods of monetization besides ads. Such as… selling it.

        The Lemmy userbase is so small by comparison to reddit. I don’t like subscriptions or ads but my god man’s gotta eat. People get butthurt way too easily over this stuff.

        Which he is doing with the subscription model. Put your money where your mouth is in that case. Have you supported Lemmy or the 3rd party apps in any way?

          Is that available yet, or he’s developing it? Or you have to pay ultra?

          Edit: nevermind, found it on the sidebar not under settings.

          Good to hear. Now remove the ad version and I’m convinced. 👍

            There’s nothing wrong with having an ad supported version if people want to use it.
