Hey everyone! Figured I would do an AMA to kick off some activity in the IAmA community over here. Feel free to throw down some questions below and ill answer them
I'm currently a student in university and have been doing both web development and game development recently (web for internships, game on my own). Out of the four admins ive been the one mainly handling community creation and managing in the instance to make sure everythings running smoothly
Some other misc topics that I can answer about: I compose music & make pixel art, and my favorite games are minecraft, SCP:SL, everhood, battlerite, and metal slug 3
If anyone else wants to do an AMA feel free to start one up in the community (assuming it fits the instance). Any activity helps get the ball rolling for getting it active
That's pretty cool. I've been doing the same thing. I downloaded the LemmyNet source and checked it out a bit, though it seems pretty small.
What do you think of the Lemmy source from what you've seen? I was expecting a more modular setup. So in the future there could be something like a marketplace / extension page were people can just add specific features to their instances.. for example for your thing, people just install "Mod-Add-Navbar-Button-To-Request-Community" extension
Source is relatively decent. Clear enough that it can be navigated but still can be a pain to figure out what some things do on first look. For the community request button it was just 7 lines I could add into the navbar script in lemmy-ui which was pretty easy to do. Having a more modular set up could be cool but might be a bunch of work for the devs to get that set up so for now im fine with how it is
