Has hypridle been not working for anybody?

[NextStep-IM]

hypridle-git stopped working a while ago and gives this error: hypridle: error while loading shared libraries: libhyprlang.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. I installed the one in the extra repo and it ran but didn't trigger hyprlock.

I found a fix on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/hyprland/s/YaWj5BcAgH
The most upvoted answer fixes it by creating an alias.
However I can't get hypridle timeout to work
