Also a bustling ecosystem of 3rd party apps.
I’ve learned iOS dev + Swift just to contribute to one that I love and enjoy using.
Reminds me of another website a long time ago that succeeded due to a lively and active 3rd party development scene. I wonder whatever happened to them?
Hubris?
God I wish I had gone into development instead of operations. It would be cool as hell to just decide to devote time to helping whatever software you like be better.
Old dogs can learn new tricks. Picking up programming has never been easier. Everyone wants to act like ChatGPT is going to replace programmers, but in reality it is a great tool to walk you through projects and explain the how and why.
Yeah, I just don’t have the time; full time+ infra job, 3 young children, two in baseball, a foster child, etc. I’m pretty solid with powershell/python/bash, but I’m sure anything I write would make an actual developer sick.
Lemmy is gonna have to settle for my money.
We had four of our own and then the fostering system reached out to us asking us to take in two kiddos right in the middle of COVID. It’s not easy, but you’re making such a huge positive impact during an extremely tragic time. Don’t feel alone … there are tons of resources out there, myself included!
Making posts and actively commenting is an important part as well. A social network is worth nothing without active users.
Ernest, the kbin dev, is off deving kbin because apparently a couple days ago he handed off managing the main kbin server to some other folks, who I assume are sysop types.

Good to see.
Cheering them on
What’s a good way to start?
Should I create a branch, work on an issue, make a pull request once done?
How can I test if I don’t host an instance?
Do other devs appreciate if I communicate first (to avoid simultaneous work on same issues), or do they rather appreciate autonomous contributions?
Where do I go to get involved?
Let’s goo!!
Lessss goooo! XD
Is this an astonishingly obscure reference to the fact that the project is built on rust and thus, it diminishes the amount of the go programming language in the world? xd
Oh less go? Thats even better! Go should never had been created its disgusting tbh, like python.
But i still meant lesssssssssss goooo meme
Hahah
Love to see it!
I would like to contribute but I don’t know a lot so I will cheer you on

I’m not a developer, just a user who reports bugs which you can do as well: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues
Wow thanks I will do my part
I’d love to contribute with fresh, compact code but I lack the braincells for that.
Then write bug reports: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues
