It’s perfectly fine to use the app and only pay when you feel like it, say you feel when the Fediverse grows to be fun enough. Or alternatively never pay and just use the free version. Or use something like Voyager / wefwef which is a fantastic app in its own right. You have the choice.
$20 really isn’t a lot when it’s an app you use everyday. If you don’t spend enough time on Lemmy then yes, it may not make sense to buy but if you do it’s really a no-brainer.
Also I would argue Apple / Google’s whole app store pricing model when it first started out really devalued good software. $1.99 for a lifetime support of an app? Come on. $20 is reasonable.
