The app seems to be abandoned at this point. I would suggest looking at some of the other options. Bean, Voyager, Avelon, and Liftoff are all great options on iOS.
Is that the consensus? I don’t wanna beat up on like one of the first devs/realistic replacements for Apollo/Reddit in its image that really opened a lot of doors and arguably contributed to Lemmy’s proliferation (at least with this n=1).
Hopefully he jumps in and chimes in at some point but, wherever you are, you are loved and youmve created a real thing of beauty.
I’m certainly not here to beat up on them at all. I think they were VERY ambitious and sort of set the tone for app development which definitely helped me feel more comfortable as I came over from Reddit. The facts are the facts though. They’ve been almost entirely radio silent and there haven’t been any commits to GitHub in like a month. Maybe it’s just a long break so they can breathe after a crazy dev cycle, but the overall silence isn’t a great sign and I moved on because of it.
Would also add Arctic to the list. The dev is very communicative with his community and has been releasing regular updates. The app is very stable, even though it’s just a TestFlight release and runs extremely fast (Avelon is also very fast too).
It also has fully working mod tools now, which almost none of the others have.
Bean is definitely one of the furthest along and is also out on the App Store. I’ve also found that Thunder is really polished and has a different take on UI compared to some of the others.
I have found myself using Arctic and Bean the most right now, but there’s really a lot of great options out there.

It’d be great to hear anything from the devs…

Both of those are great however, the interface is a little cluttered compared to other more polished apps, such as Bean.
