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!

Funny, I was just browsing the App Store for alternatives. Hated them all. Memmy is still the best imo.

Separately, been holding off on Balder’s because it seems so intimidating but I’m so darn close to giving into the hype.

As others have said, you should check out Avelon. It’s my favorite Lemmy app after ours

I love seeing devs support alternatives like this, thank you!
