You do know that the two main devs are working full time on Lemmy and are getting paid to do so by the NLnet foundation?

The software developers equivalent of my argument above would be a developers who's getting paid for their dayjob but still does some work for an open source project in their free time.

It's not about never doing anything for free but about stopping getting paid at all.
