Edit 1: After I made this post I looked for the app everywhere, turns out the developer removed it from Fdroid and Google Play Store and even deleted the community.
I guess the client is done.
The dev for Raccoon also had a Lemmy community to announce updates and things (he also deleted that community). Before he deleted it, he said that post about markdown support was the last straw and he was done with it. He announced he was going to delete everything related to Raccoon and it was all gone within like 12 hours of him saying that. He said any of the forks of his app can continue development, but since he deleted the entire repo with very little warning I don’t know if any of those forks were current with the latest commit before the parent repo disappeared.
For better or worse, any fork can still access that data.
This one was
This was indeed updated to the last commit from upstream.
Isn’t it GPL? Someone could request the code of the last release
No need for that, because it has been forked and at least one fork was updated to the last commit.
BTW, only 2 people (besides the dev) in over one year submitted some line of code, it would be quite ironic that only after the original project has been shut down people start to be willing to contribute.
It’s like willing to feed someone who has just been starved to death.
People don’t value things until they lose them.
It seems that they have decided to restart here and create a new community here.
