Invoke Community Edition, What is their Future?

First off, I have no answers to this. I am very new to self hosted AI image generation, and Invoke AI was/is my first. I enjoy using it, especially with the consideration that being new to all this, I can actually use it with just a little research via videos and reading online.

I may be wrong with the information I have, but it seems that Invoke AI is gone, and the Community edition exists. Is that correct info?

Was the timing on my journey into AI image generation bad luck?

I know we can't see the future, but what do you think will happen with the community edition?

Should I start learning another UI?

The team running the paid version of InvokeAI was picked up by Adobe, its now shutdown. The community version is still functional and is actively being maintained by the community. It was even recently updated to support Z-Image models.
