Imagine being me paying $100 for lifetime on an app with broken features and an AWOL dev. I should have known the devs would slowly start to bail when the Lemmy hype died down after the reddit dust settled. Artemis was also abandoned in a similar fashion for kbin.
LJ isn’t bailing. I can tell you that for sure. He just always goes AWOL for a new months with no communication then drops an update with a ton features and bugs fixed at once. The app isn’t dead. He just got other things going on.
And with reddit that was fine. It always ended up the best looking and customizable app, for years, and the backend features of reddit it used were stagnant for years. It worked out.
But I can’t imagine paying $100, because I went monthly. I’ve still paid <$10 and I’ve had that much value from the app already.
And I’m going to continue to support him but I dread to see the day I start daily driving another lemmy app.

I can confirm about LJ’s absences. If you’ve been part of the Sync discord for a while, you’ll notice he takes extended time off every now and then.
