Hey everyone! I wanted to give an update on the status of Memmy development since things have been slow recently.
Don't worry, we haven't just abandoned Memmy! There are a few reasons we haven't really had many updates or progress recently. gk and I have both been a little burnt out after doing so much before. We didn't really pace ourselves very well I think, so recently we've been taking a break. I've been addicted to Baldurs Gate 3 and gk is trying to get out of Gold Nova in CSGO 😏. Additionally, there was a lot of drama recently on lemmy that kind of left a sour taste in our mouths and has just led us to not using lemmy as much recently.
But don't worry, we are still developing. We are actually working on a rewrite of the app, since we both were rather new to React Native when starting this, and have learned a lot of do's and don'ts. We're also planning on having Android support in the rewrite.
We appreciate the patience and support, thank you to all our users!
Now I wanna know what drama?
Mostly the stuff with lemmy.world banning the piracy community. (FWIW I think they have every right to ban whatever community they want on their server)
It’s funny, I was relatively active on Lemmy until this happened. It left a sour taste in my mouth, caused me to create a new account or two on other servers, and left my interests feeling fragmented.
So now I check Lemmy every couple days and don’t think to post much. One decision or event can really cause a snowball effect!
