For those using it on Android, a reminder that the older app is not maintained anymore and you might want to replace it with Catfriend1/syncthing-android.
But also - maybe wait for the app v2.0 to be released to upgrade the desktop client at the same time; I don’t know if using v2.0 on the desktop would work with the v1.x app.
I think the original wasn’t getting maintained properly or something. There was a big conversation about it a couple of months ago on one of the open source communities here if you want to search for it. Nothing shady iirc.
I developed the Android app for Syncthing years ago. But then I didnt have time (or motivation) for that anymore. Developing Lemmy is much more interesting for me really nowadays.

There is already a prerelease of the 2.0 app for android 🎉 (haven’t tried it yet though)
Why did they fork the app?

Thanks for your work on both!
