The app has not been updated in more than a month and LJ also has not been active on lemmy and this community for nearly a month. Is he okay¿?

    Back when he did sync for reddit, i remember he disappeared for quite a long time(i think half a year or something) before coming back and did a rapid fire of update. In that period of hiatus a lot of post similar to this one pops up too.

      I was more worried this time because this is a full time gig so his absence could not be explained by him focusing on his day job

        Sync was always a full time gig. The company was incorporated some 10 years ago, LJ didn’t have a full time job for quite some time.

          Hmm. I did not know that. I thought sync started as more of a side project

            It very well might have, but then really 10+ years ago. LJ was still doing a PhD for some time during the development, but finished in 2018 or so I believe.

          I don’t think it will. Most clients have updated to be compatible so it doesn’t look particularly hard

            Sync (at least for me) is broken with the latest rc build. I’m fine with this because I’m the silly that is running alpha/beta/rc builds of lemmy on my instance.
