I did like 5+ years ago before the lemmy version came out.

Your statement is ridiculous because it takes out any context or history of this app. Especially the long-standing favor that the developer has in my opinion from doing such a good job on the reddit version.

My issues solely reside with the fact that lemmy is updating to a point that this app is now becoming broken. And this app needs to be updated and should have been updated by now. Or we should have been communicated with by now. Especially considering that when the developer launched this app they increased the fees and prices to further support development. But those fees and prices kind of sting now that they have basically said nothing for over a month. And meanwhile there are just more complaints on the homepage of bugs within the app and bugs that I hate dealing with in the app that make it hard for me to use.

This is not a case of me not liking the app. I am very familiar with it and I like everything that the developer has done with it. This is a case of me feeling like I'm supporting something and not getting the same support back.

It has nothing to do with "trying the free version" And while this developer has been known for taking substantial breaks between updates, there was no indication in the beginning that that would continue to be the case because once again reiterating it, they increased fees and prices basically stating to support the development of this app. And they also very quickly developed a lemmy version and launched it and did several updates rather quickly. So I think it's fair to have some frustration that they basically dropped off the map at this point and they haven't updated the app for regular users in months.

Go ahead and look at this community and all the other posts about broken issues. And look at how much more have been cropping up as lemmy gets further and farther along with being updated but sync does not

And if I recall correctly this is a side project for him so updates are not as regular as people expect.

That's kinda bs imo given how heavily they have monetized this version compared to the last.

I was fine having a very low amount of updates and expectation of that because the app was really cheap before and reddit was fairly stable. But now they want to charge significantly more and have subscription models. And I think it's kind of unacceptable for them to walk away this much or this long. At the very least they should communicate more.

This is my biggest issue here. And it also worked fine with how much cheaper the app was before. I didn't mind him working on this as a side project. But between subscriptions and large fees, I just don't understand how we've seen a total lack of development or pause on development here, especially when we're reaching such a juncture where there are broken things about this app.

Imo its kinda fucked to have a subscription model but not be updated even semi close to often.

No i trusted the developer from a long time on reddit but i expected them to not do the same shit given they were charging more and seemed to be committing to more active development in the beginning.

It's because Lemmy has upgraded in this developer has done nothing to upgrade the app in the meantime. And everything is breaking more and more. I've actually had to completely stop using this app because it's so annoying to use right now

I'll wait when i see an actual product. I've been hearing about the wonders of graphene for the better part of a decade at least now.

A bit. They picked his favorite design but he didn't like the variations as much. Im disappointed they dropped the extra color.

I seriously do not understand why f Droid has the worst client I have ever used in the world. Like why is the official one. So fucking bad. It's impossible to find shit on there. It's impossible to update things. It turns me off to complete using it all together.

As a kid who survived through this maybe not special needs. But a kid who's arrived through this. The best you can do is just show them how much you love and care for them no matter what. That will mean the world to them. Also, just hope your ex-whaterver e isn't a bitch who warps and twists your kid's minds. Cuz I don't say this lightly. My dad with the way the court systems are was not awarded full custody lightly. The court system in America very much prefers the mother. And my mother was a crazy psychotic bitch who made me go to a fucking two week inpatient facility because she fucked up my head so bad. But my dad is the greatest thing I've ever had and he is caring and he has sacrificed more than I think anyone will ever know. And for all of that I said the best you can do is just put love first. Because love is what ultimately prevailed for my father despite my mother's twisted fucked up words
