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’ll try to contribute to the backend! I’ve always found it daunting, because often the issues are taken up.
Are you a rust dev? The backend is all rust and I think there are many pretty easy open issues to checkout.
One thing (not sure if there is an issue right now) that is a problem on the backend is that it doesn’t send a response if you put the wrong username+password so the frontend just stays loading forever. However, maybe this will be fixed automatically when they stop using websocks (soon)
I’ve mostly done low level work with it at school but I’ve been wanting to learn web dev with it :) Might pick up one of the easy issues!
