Did I waste my money? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Bought lifetime, no updates since then. Last activity from Steve’s account (the developer) on Lemmy was over 3 months ago.

A month ago his colleague had an update. Nothing since then.

Did I just throw away my money on this app? Or do you guys think development will start up again?

Also, what do you guys think is the best alternative to Bean with a similar UI?

Yeah, I’m probably not purchasing any lemmy apps because any update or lack of updates could break it or make it obsolete.

Avelon free is good if you can handle no multi-account support, limited filter options, and needing to manually insert images into replies. Maybe the 1.99 monthly for more accounts and filters is worth it while it works, but idk about that $30 lifetime for the same potential problem with Bean.

Voyager seems good all around. (edit: it’s missing instance blocking, but that won’t be an issue whenever the new Lemmy version that includes it gets deployed.)

Memmy is ok if you don’t want to hide posts, because it does it at the instance level where Lemmy inexplicably hides your own posts from your own profile page.
