It's actually not that complicated. Lemmy just works like email. You can use different email providers (lemmy calls them instances) like gmail.com or yahoo.com and they work together. What you call subreddits is called communities and they are managed by a instance. If one instance does something that you don't like, you can use another. They all work independently but exchange data. If you have any questions see this. Hope this helps
Sync is a mobile app, but you can sign in to lemmy by going to your instance's website (for you it would be lemmy.world). Remember, sync is only a way to view lemmy, it doesn't power lemmy
You may have misunderstood, I was saying along with supporting the sync dev, the backend that powers sync was made by very different developers. Their work powers lemmy as a whole. If you can, you can support them by donating using this link: join-lemmy.org/donate
Ah, that makes sense. In my case though, I used to never post on Reddit but on Lemmy I feel good contributing to this community. I hope a lot of the other Reddit refugees who lurked feel the same way
If I like it better then who are you to tell me I shouldn't pay for it. Like it doesn't affect you, as long as I support my home instance everything will be fine.
Huh, maybe I'll look into it
