Announcements

First of all, thanks for the great work!

How's the onboarding of the new contributors going? I assume suddenly getting a huge influx of eager contributors might create a lot of fun "problems" that software developers don't usually get in their day jobs.

Related to that, besides the contributor docs on join-lemmy, is there any recommended reading before getting down to work on starting to contribute (already made or in the works)? I've been looking into helping out and getting better at Rust in the process.

@dessalines yesterday, I asked around about the desired improvements to Lemmy and @bmp replied that conversation flows could be improved. Threads or comments aren't always explicitly showed and makes the user unsure about how to actually interact in the conversation.

Also, what are your next points on the roadmap? (If you have one)

A bit late on this, but when can we expect the new rewrite of Lemmy's UI? It seems like a big task.

Will the ability to send instance-agnostic post links be coming?

Where did the Lemmy name originated from? How long was the development of Lemmy?

I would love a way to optionally post a location while choosing specificity, i.e. United Kingdom vs Newcastle etc. That way I can filter communities and posts to just those in a location I like.

I think it could lead to some really cool interactions and ways of looking for things.
