Locked, see rule 3
That also works :)
If the developers do not distribute donations among all contributors
I understand completely. I've received a total of 400$ or so from open source bounties and other rewards, and would love to see a similar model in many more projects, including lemmy... and yet, please bear in mind that lemmy's monthly income is currently only around 500 dollars (and that's increased in the past couple months), excluding nlnet funding. The top two contributors have each added around 40 times more lines then the third to the project. Totaling all 140 independent contributors, they still fall more than 5x short of either of the main developers. My takeaway is that this site needs more funding.
Yes! The contributing guide mentions that there are plenty of other ways including design, translations, donations, and even just reporting issues you come across! Everything can be a huge help.
Welcome everyone! Just as a PSA, here's a cross instance community explorer: https://browse.feddit.de/
Yes. The docs aren't what I wish they were, but it's here https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/contributors/04-api.html, and there already are client libraries for multiple languages
Theoretically yes. I remember when mastodon.social went down and I didn't notice a thing... Well aside from the constant "guys guys guys mastodon.social is down so exciting" :)
Mastodon suffers from similar annoyances. I feel like this system could be improved, it's pretty confusing for beginners. I support frontends rewriting links, I suppose (though I suppose there is the tricky issue of deciding what links point to the fedi. Maybe "[email protected]" should not be a link....)
This is amazing!
brave is also run by a homopobic alt right ass so...
please note: I do not support coil
This is better suited for [email protected]
