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.
Why did they fork the app?
