After the (temporary) defederation announcement of earlier i checked the Lemmy repo to see if there was already a ticket on the federation limiting option like Mastodon's that people mentioned Lemmy doesn't yet have. Not only i didn't find it, i also saw that there's about 200+ open tickets of variable importance. Also saw that it's maintained mostly by the two main devs, the difference in commits between them and even the next contributors is vast. This is normal and in other circumstances it'd grow organically, but considering the huge influx of users lately, which will likely take months to slow down, they just don't have the same time to invest on this, and many things risk being neglected.
I'm a sysadmin, haven't coded anything big in at least a decade and a half beyond small helper scripts in Bash or Python, and haven't ever touched Rust, so can't help there, but maybe some of you Rust aficionados can give some time to help essentially all of Lemmy.
The same can be said of Kbin of course, although that's PHP, and there is exacerbated by it being just the single dev.
Very nice!! Congratulations!
Yes that's definitely one the things I am leaning towards. On my main "gripes" with Lemmy right now, is the lack of keyboard shortcuts (think of stuff like, CRTL+enter to send a reply for example). So I wanna see if I can add that in the frontend repository.
Sounds like a cool project!
Make sure to check the issues/PRs, it looks like people already worked on CTRL+Enter.
Oh damn! That's nice! But that means I have to find another thing to do :P
I just though of one, you know how you can insert images with the "upload image" button, drag and drop doesn't seem to be supported yet.
Idk how hard that is to implement cross platform, but many sites support it.
Usually it isn't hard to implement..but that largely depends on the backend.
Might take a crack at this, this weekend.
