      Well, I’m lending a hand. I have some patches in production already, and I’ve only been contributing for a week or so.

      If you have the means, please help out. There are tons of bugs, important features, etc, and it’s a pretty stable base, so it’s a good time to jump in.

        Oh I’d love to do more but I’m not a developer :(

        Only things I can do is donating and helping other people by answering questions (if I know the answers ofc, still learning myself).

        @sugar_in_your_tea About “good time to jump in”: the small size of the lemmy dev community gives you a chance to shift off Microsoft to a community git forge e.g. #Codeberg [1] that aims at forge federation [2] *before* there’s too much #TyrannyOfConvenience inertia. Mastodon devs are reluctant to even *discuss* giving up Microsoft [3].

          Well, I don’t get to make that decision. If the maintainers choose to do that, I’ll follow, but there’s a good chance that a lot of the other contributors won’t. For something in rapid development with a lot of community contributions, you want that barrier of entry to be as low as possible.

          So if it was up to me (and it’s not), I would say no. I would be open to an official mirror somewhere else, and perhaps moving to a separate feature/bug tracking system (esp. if it’s easier for the community to report bugs), which imo is the biggest barrier to moving the repo.

          I guess I’m not particularly worried about it since the project is FOSS and the difficulty in switching is pretty low.

          Cool links, I didn’t know there was federated source code initiatives.
