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!
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!
