@lemmy.worldI am more than willing to also invest in „just their time fun projects“ if that keeps the motivation high.
Besides: they might need to include other APIs $$$ have future or hidden costs for hosting or want to pay for media (logos) or licenses and whatnot. Or simply afford actual testing devices instead of simulators…
Long story short I would embrace paying for the App, be it one-time or recurring.
Understandable.
I belive that with all the new apple magic it is actually a low effort to make something multiplattform. I just re-installed the fabulousIce cubes App for mastodon, which code base is also a good reference for best practices.
However, you might want to consider opening a way for donations… I believe, you should be able to at least access all testing devices needed. Maybe a community effort could help with that.
There are still milder ways for being cross platform… using certain frameworks or languages are pure self hatred 🥹
Mastodon is a twitter-alike software that can be deployed on different servers. So everybody who wants to, and has a shiny domain, can run said software…
Lemmy is a reddit-alike software that can be deployed on different servers. So everybody who wants to, and has a shiny domain, can run said software…
Often they choose subdomains like lemmy.example.com and mastodon.example.com . However, lemmy and mastodon share a same communications protocol. Thats why they are in parts compatible…
You can basically be on your mastodon server and then some lemmy content shows up.
The operator of mastodon.world choose to share a lemmy installation via lemmy.world.
Kay, yet I would let admins some leeway. They are doing a great job and they will inform everyone if there is something new to say… or give a countdown when this instance explodes 😂
A quick glaze into the support community with everyone posting these new posts about the missing update would really spoil my work as admin.
Just so I understand: You read and understood the article with the problems and realized that admins are working the problem… yet you decide that asking another time would add something of value to that matter
