The sole developer isn't actively supporting Reticulum anymore:

"The software remains available for use as-is. Occasional updates may appear at unpredictable intervals, but there will be no support, no responses to issues, no discussions, and no community management in this or any other public venue. If it doesn't work for you, it doesn't work. That is the entire extent of available troubleshooting assistance I can offer you."

    The latest release is dated 2 days ago https://github.com/markqvist/Reticulum . Actively supporting is not the same as actively developing.

    This should probably be taken as "I am tired of supporting everyone who did not RTFM, too bad if you can't make it work" and is a totally reasonable thing to do, especially as the project gain more traction.

    There is a pretty good community around reticulum that is usually supportive.

    Yeah, that's a fair point, I'm just wary of sinking time into using a project with a single developer, a hazy future and no way of reporting issues. I don't blame them for not providing that level of support, of course, but I'd rather stick to projects that are more mature or have more resources behind them.

    Edit: I see there's actually been a number of different contributors, but based on the tone of the announcement in Dec, I just don't think it's something I would want to rely on

    Where are you getting this info from? The last release was 2 days ago https://github.com/markqvist/Reticulum and there is an active community porting it to different languages and working on related projects https://awesome-reticulum.net/ .
