Why am I paying for a subscription for an app that hasn't been updated in a year? When are we going to get an update?

I just cancelled my subscription. Unfortunate that he couldn't do more after so many people supported him during the API debacle.

It's one of those things that worked better on reddit because they didn't make huge changes often. So a developer could just update infrequently and it not matter. Slide, my favorite reddit app, hadn't had an update in years when spez fucked things, and it was functional enough if you didn't try to mod on it.

Lemmy though, you kinda need to at least try and do two updates a year to keep up with things.

So far, sync is still fine for casual scrolling and talking, so it isn't huge that it's behind, but it eventually will be.

Oh man, I loved Slide! It was my go to reddit app for years.

Unfortunately it got so broken I ended up on Sync.

Yeah, if they hadn't broken all of the apps, I would have too. I was using sync as a backup anyway, and was thinking about just switching.

FYI the exclamation point is how you link to a community, if you want to ping someone you use an @ instead, like so:

Hey, @[email protected] Sync is going to need an update soon to keep up with new Lemmy versions.

Appreciate the correction. I'll remember next time.

Do we know if he's okay? What's the internet version of a wellness check?
