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 new to lemmy. What's a home instance?
Sync is making it so I don't need to think think hard. Makes head go ouchie.
It's like email, I have yahoo, you have gmail, your grandma has aol. Each is their "home" instance but they can all talk to each other. They're not in a walled garden and can only talk to themselves like whatsapp or reddit or twitter etc. Fediverse is an open platform and lemmy is a reddit-like part of it. Mastodon is a twitter-like part of it. Sync does do a great job, no need to make head go ouchie.
Much thanks. Me smart!
I'm new here also but I think it's the instance where you registered your account in. For example lemmy.world.
Yep! The both of you have accounts on lemmy.world just like me. So if you pop over to our lemmy.world community, and click the "about" tab / sidebar at the bottom should be a link for donations via Patreon and another one that's escaping me. I'll just add the link in a sec
Edit: here ya go!

Registered your account in, yes, but more importantly - which home instance you're logged into at that particular moment.
