We don't know if Lemmy is going to last. Why spend time and effort making an app for it to just die. LJ (the dev) needs to eat, and since lemmy isn't popular compared to reddit, jacking up the price seems necessary.

I don't think LJ is being greedy. Again, he needs to eat. It's a niche community, and a niche community will most always be more expensive than other things.
