devs not directly financially profiting from the spread of Lemmy

Aren't they though? Even if we ignore the obvious aspect of getting donations and exposure, they will also get more contributors for their project which will push them even further ahead of other competitors in this space.

I agree people might be blowing it a bit too much out of proportion at times, but then again we shouldn't pretend that it doesn't matter either.
