Comment on This past week, Lemmy has gotten really good

  I’ve been using “Thunder” and so far it’s done a pretty wonderful job of things. Very easy to view and scroll on a phone. A lot of options you can set and customize.

    Thunder was still not quite what I was looking for last time I tried it. I am very happy with Summit now, personally.

      Haven’t tried summit. Thunder is pretty close to a clone of what I was using on reddit before the api fiasco they had and I bailed. Relay for reddit.

    Swapped to voyager as my main, thunder doesn’t let you reply to dms which is annoying every once in a while.

        You can view them but can’t reply. When digg needed invites I was giving codes to ppl in dms and couldn’t there.zl

  Has the developer confirmed he’s dropped the project for good, or is he still just MIA? I know he’s gone over a year between updates before, so unless he’s announced that he’s done, there’s still a small possibility of an update in the future.

    This is longer than he’s ever been MIA for before, this time I think it’s about 2 years since the last update, and there are several literally critical bugs. But this is the downside with absentee developers like that, you never know for sure whether it’s abandonware or not. But he seems to be actively working on other stuff still so I just don’t think Lemmy took off enough in popularity for him to feel like it’s worth his time monetarily. Makes sense if this was always more of a business than a passion project, which is the way it appears to be to me.

      The least he could do would be to just say that he is done developing the Lemmy app. Just vanishing is a dick move.

        Especially when one of the apps payment models is a monthly subscription. I hope most people have cancelled by now, but subscriptions tend to be sticky, which is partly why buisnesses like them so much.
