Lemmy Devs: peacefully developing the Lemmy code for free
Reddit Refugees: "WHY IS THIS SO BUGGY?"
We're probably hitting close to the all-time high of unread notifications on github... I'm at 1752 rn, only watching lemmy projects.
It does feel like I've become the personal issue tracker for a few thousand people all the sudden. 99% of ppl are nice, but there's always someone demanding free labor to fix their pet issue, while offering to do none of the work themselves, and making ultimatums that they won't use your software until it gets added.
It's like okay then???? I'm not selling a product, so I don't care. I've essentially set up a free cookie stand and they're complaining at me that I don't have rainbow sprinkles.
First off, thank you for working on improving lemmy, it is greatly appreciated. How does one go about helping work on lemmy? I’m a software engineer myself, and I’m looking to provide help during down of my free time. I’m not the most familiar in Rust, but it’s on my summer bucket list
No probs! The best way to get started (after you've learned some rust), would be to find a smaller issue or feature you'd like, and then comment on that issue, or in our dev matrix chat, if you need any help. We appreciate any help we can get on improving the code.
Thank you! I’m already familiar with REST apis, since that’s what I work on normally, so hopefully the learning experience will be smooth. Where can I find the dev matrix chat?
Even if you're unfamiliar with rust, you can still help with open source lemmy front-ends/apps that aren't written in rust
How come I can't install Lemmy on my grill and have it cook me hotdogs?
It doesn't even integrate with my smart kettle, what are they even spending their time on, silly things like stability and bugfixes?
It works on my smart fridge but it's running slow. What are they doing smh my head.
I tried that but the app froze
Lemmy devs are being paid to develop Lemmy, they literally admit to it.
You mean like donations? Or something else?
