Did I waste my money? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Bought lifetime, no updates since then. Last activity from Steve’s account (the developer) on Lemmy was over 3 months ago.

A month ago his colleague had an update. Nothing since then.

Did I just throw away my money on this app? Or do you guys think development will start up again?

Also, what do you guys think is the best alternative to Bean with a similar UI?

I’m also feeling scammed, and I used to mod this channel.

Things started seeming fishy to me when Steve never responded to any of my messages or used any of the support tools I put together for him.

I ended up resigning my mod position a week or so after release. I wasn’t too shocked when the development ceased.

I still have Bean installed but mostly use Voyager now.

Hey infinite_zero,

I’m extremely sorry you were put in that tricky position of moderating a channel that the dev was inactive in as well as dealing with the feeling of being scammed — I messed up, clearly!

As for the messages, I have not logged onto the web UI for Lemmy in quite some time and obviously have not been as active as I should have been here so didn’t catch them so I’m sorry if you felt like you were being ignored by me.

I’m hoping I can turn things around and correct the lack of updates both in development and communication in the coming weeks. I’m not going to make any excuses, I should have done a better job and I’m sorry about that.
