If wanting an update is needy, then I guess I am. Oh darn.

There was literally no reason for me to have the app after the API changes went live to see a message, and there were a TON of posts asking if he had plans to either deal with the API changes, or a possible lemmy port before they took place. At one point he said a firm NO, that he was going to focus on other smaller projects.

Then a magazine appeared on lemmy created by the boost dev

And I’ve not seen a single update since then. Here or on the boost subreddit. His last post on reddit was 18 days ago.

Lack of communication for something so big is not seen as a positive by me. Sync on the other hand is giving daily updates, asking feedback on his discord, etc. I’ll go with the dev that’s talking to his loyal user base. He expects a build to be ready possibly this week.

Maybe some day I’ll try boost for lemmy, but I’m not actively following it or looking forward to it at this point.

Nothing was said before the API was going dark, and nothing has been said since then. The lack of communication is driving me towards sync for lemmy instead.

I get that it’s a side project, but updates to your community take very little effort.
