Just popped in to say that I miss Memmy. I switch between Voyager and Thunder these days.

They are ok.

Yet I’m still back here, on this community, telling y’all my opinion on it.

Jeez this is one of the most entitled and ignorant unfriendly things I have read so far towards developers.

If you are so entitled, make an app for Lemmy yourself - in your free time without getting an income-stream.

Realize the developer does everything in their free time for no money.

It might seem like a small thing but it might be a pain to develop a fix for it (I’m not an coder so, I don’t know).

Be happy there are updates for an app that’s getting developed and maintained in their free time for no money.

Otherwise just delete the app and move on.

I don’t really see the entitlement here, but I’m sorry nonetheless for the attitude in my comment. I was speaking as a developer and designer myself, but I know the memmy people have no reason to work on any part of the app they don’t want to. I was trying (and failed, miserably) to explain why I left for such a seemingly petty reason. I simply found an alternative. From the perspective of a user, their focus on “new” instead of fixing bugs first was frustrating. That’s not entitlement. I didn’t insist anyone fix it. I saw that the team’s priorities weren’t in line with what I’d assumed they should be. I guess my dogmatic “user centric” approach can read as entitlement, but I’m fully aware I wasn’t owed anything as a user of a free app.
