Mac users with the desktop app, 1.8.1 and 1.8.2 will need to be manually updated due to a bug (lemmy.ml)

I broken the automatic update mechanism in 1.8.1. It's fixed in 1.8.3.

If you are on 1.8.1 or 1.8.2 and want more automatic updates, you can download 1.8.3 manually

After downloading 1.8.3, automatic updates should start to work again. If you happen to still be on 1.8.0 you shouldn't have to do anything.

Sorry for the inconvenience. PieFed support is coming soon. If you're interested, I encourage you to opt back into automatic updates.

via installer downloaded from GitHub.

Yes, but what about updates?

The build is singed by Apple, so you don’t get an unknown developer alert

Literally couldn't care less about that, I disabled gatekeeper on day 1.

The iOS app however is distributed within the App Store

I'm not personally concerned with iOS either. Someone buys an iPhone, they get what they get and there aint no way around that, to my knowledge.

For Android

FDroid is fine, but there are many stores outside of FDroid as well, and even Obtainium can be used to install directly from a repository like GitHub or Codeberg.

It would be nice to eventually offer 2 options for every platform, but alas I’m just one person with limited time.

By your own research the most logical thing would be to prioritize unofficial app stores.

Your tone seems to suggest they owe you something, and are not providing an app they build in their own time for free.

So many people tell me I should do XYZ, yet not a single person has even attempted to open a pull request. Like if you’re so passionate about FOSS, open a pull request or fork my project if you really disagree with me.

Your mistake is assuming that everyone is a programmer or even knows what a "pull request" is.

[–] Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago (2 children)

No need to be a programmer to phrase suggestions in a better tone than demanding requests.

demanding requests

You do realize that's an oxymoron?
