I don't mean to sound like entitled or anything but I happily and immediately paid $20 for this app when it came out. And there were a ton of updates and now it has completely stopped. And while that worked for sybc before with Reddit. It's not acceptable here with how often Lemmy is upgrading and changing. This app is almost unusable with how many small things are beginning to get broken. Just look through this community to see everyone complaining about the various bugs and issues that are now cropping up with. Lemmy me upgrades. A month ago the developer posted about a beta that almost no one has access to and we have heard nothing since. Really don't appreciate this tbh. And I'm considering cutting my losses all together here as there are other apps that are developing way more and that i would rather support

Yeah, this was a good platform and model for reddit because it was mostly stable, lemmy is rapidly changing and evolving.

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.

I hear you but I've been paying out for the subscription features and keeping an eye on their uptime.

Is there something in particular you were waiting for me to add / fix? Cheers

[โ€“] ljdawson@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Was there something I missed? The dec update added support for the .19 lemmy changes.

Cheers

You missed adding the Scaled and Controversial sort options to the drop-down list.

[โ€“] ljdawson@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Will patch that tomorrow. Cheers

[โ€“] can@sh.itjust.works 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Thanks for your continued work. This is still the best app and fixing these little rough edges will make it that much better.

[โ€“] ljdawson@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

If there's anything else let me know!

[โ€“] can@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 months ago

Those are all the main ones off the top of my head but I'll think about it.

It's also relatively tiny so a bit unreasonable to expect things to be updated daily.

I'm not really seeing any major issues anyway - what is so broken that OP is so annoyed about? Only thing im aware of is the Instances button not working, which yeah that's true. Not really a major issue though?

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

[โ€“] ljdawson@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Just repeating my previous comment. Was there something in particular you were waiting for?

cheers

Another small issue is that search for communities doesnt work unless the community you search for is already loaded in the list.

[โ€“] ljdawson@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Logged, will aim to fix for the next release.

While we're on the subject. When I'm submitting a post and choosing the community I almost always want to be searching instead of scrolling my list. Could it ever be an optional feature that tapping the community field automatically pulls up the search and my keyboard? Minor in the grand scheme of things of course.

Also, I'm sure you've seen but Scaled and Controversial aren't selectable sorting algorithms in the list.

[โ€“] ljdawson@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Instead of tapping the search at the top?

[โ€“] can@sh.itjust.works 3 points 8 months ago

Yeah, I have a very large phone and small hands, like I said, very minor, low priority thing. Please fix up the markup first such as the superscript and adding subscript first.

[โ€“] ljdawson@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

This was the impression I had too and I managed to fix the instance issue remotely after reports came in.
