Comment on This past week, Lemmy has gotten really good
darkdemize@sh.itjust.works 5 hours agoHas 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.
