Lemmy Devs: peacefully developing the Lemmy code for free

Reddit Refugees: "WHY IS THIS SO BUGGY?"

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

Lemmy devs are being paid to develop Lemmy, they literally admit to it.

You mean like donations? Or something else?
