  • Better communication. I’ve been with you for a very long time since Reddit in the early days before any of the redesigns or anything like that. And I’m very aware of the typical way you operate. But in this case, it was very frustrating to feel like I paid into something and paid significantly more because I believed in supporting it still. And you just go completely dark. At least let us know. It’s going to be a few months while you work on something. Thanks for responding



  • Because he changed the pricing to say he could work on it full time. Working on a full-time means more than what he’s done. I don’t even need particularly more frequent updates than he is necessarily given. Although that would be nice to squash some of the bugs. But it least communicate with your community. You can’t just post a beta that basically no one has access to and then peace out again


  • Yes you are the idiot you dense motherfucker. You keep moving the goal posts too. Its gone from you saying “I should have tried the free version” and me saying I have. To you just going well The free version is good enough. I don’t know why the fuck you paid for it. Lmao

    Its not worth even trying to explain it to you cause you are denser than a black hole. Which is where any knowledge for you goes anyways.


  • It inherently couldn’t be the same app. It is entirely different website. But it is very obviously built on the same app. Everything functions almost exactly the same. Even some of the wording is still styled after Reddit.

    I dont know how much more dense you can fuckin get. Your argument doesn’t even hold up when talking about this specific app if I take out the previous app beforehand as well. Because they were updating frequently for the first couple months. That gives me at least a few weeks to try the free version. Before deciding if it was worth it . How long was I supposed to wait months?almost a year? Before purchasing the paid version? I don’t wanna look at ads for the better part of a year to find out whether they actually seem “committed to the app”. Your argument is still so fucking stupid and dense because if you tried the free version in the very beginning. Based on the communication from the developer and the pricing scheme and the update schedule, it would have seemed like a decent reason to pay for it.

    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.

    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.












  • Bugs happen man. Software and technology is not perfect. Sometimes it requires human intervention like customer support. I understand. It’s frustrating that they have business hours. But would you rather deal with some random dude who can’t actually do anything for you because they’re so limited? Cuz that’s what a lot of 24-hour customer service lines are. It Is just some person who is just there to placate you and escalate your problem to someone who can actually do something about it. Or would you rather just wait? I mean you actually said

    I guess it’ll work after a while.

    Which seems pretty obvious Indication that you don’t have a problem waiting to resolve this even though you want it resolved now.
