So a quick internet search returns this gem and I don't think it's related to Lemmy. Any place selling merch? Would be a nice way to spread the word and ideally if any profits go to the devs/instances that would be great
::edit:: damn how is this decisive? I thought you all were good consumeristic capitalists. I'll just build my own then
Lemmy Kilmister was a real person with a legacy of his own that deserves better than to be a funny gimmicky sticker to promote a social media platform.
I don't think OP is asking for merch of that Lemmy. The platform Lemmy has a mascot, just like Reddit. They are not the same thing. I understand people not knowing who Mr Kilmster but doesn't everyone here know who the mascot is? With that said I wouldn't mind some stickers or something.
Maybe instance owners/maintainers can fire up an Etsy shop or something similar to sell stickers and 3D prints relating to whatever instance they run. I'd be okay with something like that. As long as they don't go full "creator warehouse" where the instance becomes secondary to making sales.
There’s a lot of downvotes here which are valid, but I personally wouldn’t be opposed to paying a few bucks to the devs making Lemmy for a sticker to put on my laptop.
I suppose I would just want to see Lemmy’s principles set in legally binding stone before I would want to give them cash.
Edit: lemmy quickly add that I’m obviously no expert in any of this and these are just casual musings not clear directions haha
