calvin comments on Memmy developers were able to build a better app in a month than Reddit’s team was able to build in ten years

It's not surprising as the motivations are quite different. Reddit wants their app to be a shitty Facebook clone while Memmy/Lemmy focus on the user experience.

Also memmy devs aren’t bogged down by the 10 layers of corporate bullshit your average dev has to deal with.

Also, Memmy had a great template from Apollo.

The motivation is $$$. Reddit's board and CEO want to get rich. Lemmy wants to nerd out and create a community.

Let's also acknowledge that nobody should work for free so if you truly support Memmy/Lemmy, put your money when your mouth is.

Absolutely. This is the time to put your support towards app developers, instance providers, and the Lemmy project itself.
