Dev hasn’t posted in 4 months, I think he had twins, so he’s off enjoying that.
Without being around to keep the app working as Lemmy updates, it’s gonna stop working one day.
Lemmy 0.19 sounds like a big update and has a lot of new features that a non updated app won’t be able to handle, hence today’s announcement by the Lemmy.World crew why they’ve been waiting so long to roll it out since they’re the biggest instance and don’t wanna catch users by surprise having apps not work or major problems pop up.
That’s my understanding of the situation anyway. Some details me be not exactly right, but close enough.
