Curious if anyone is working on the codebase for Lemmy. I’m sure we all see a few places where it could use some love.
The main repos are:
Personally, I’ve been working on a few small things for docs.
PS: Here’s a pretty easy ticket to jump on if you want to get started :) https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1214
There is also a dev chat in their Matrix space: https://matrix.to/#/#lemmy-space:matrix.org
I added a mark as read button to the posts but now patiently waiting till the WebSockets -> REST API transition is complete so it can get merged.
The front end needs a lot of work… Every bit is appreciated and the maintainers are pretty fast at reviewing and providing feedback which is nice to see.
I changed some stuff on the Lemmy-Ansible documentation for clarity, but I’m garbage at coding anything useful. Getting my head around rust or typescript is a real challenge from square zero.
I’m interested, but I don’t know Rust and haven’t done frontend work in years. Might be able to do some work around scalability and contribute to a Kubernetes deployment guide (and/or Helm chart).
I honestly had a blast learning Rust. Haven’t gotten a chance to do much with the language but it definitely shifted the way I think about coding in general.
