Is this app dead? (lemmy.world)

Having a little anxiety here because this is by far the best app. I purchased a lifetime Ultra membership and it wasn't until I replaced my phone and couldn't restore it, did I find out the developer hasn't updated or posted in 2 years. (Somehow the Ultra got restored a couple days later).

I really hope the dev continued this, or issues a statement regarding the status. I also would pay for a version for Reddit (yeah I know, I just can't quit that completely yet)

Edit: thanks for the responses. So far, Voyager seems to be the closest to Sync and best alternative for me. Really sucks the dev just abandon this.

The support is dead. The app itself will be dead, when Lemmy 1.0 arrive. It's sad, because other clients aren't close to Sync in terms of behaviour.

    I'm still using Sync. Is there anything remotely similar out there?

    Summit and Thunder are cool. Especially Summit.

    Summit is the best option. It's not exactly the same - it's its own thing and not intended to be a Sync clone - but having tried like a dozen apps after finally leaving Sync behind Summit was the only one that felt right in all the ways I wanted.

    It also has a very active dev, who regularly incorporates user suggestions and feature requests.

    I can't seem to upvote from the feed in compact mode. Tap on thumbnail, read meme, tap back, tap vote button, go to full post page, tap upvote, tap back. Maddening.

    What does Voyager lack?

    Fuckin'ell, Voyager fanboy...

    Actually nothing (I've used it), but for me no Material You. I know wefwef (Voyager's old name, way more original) was made to look like Apollo for Reddit (users fapping to it switched IMMEDIATELY lol), but I like Material You more.
