Lemmy Devs: peacefully developing the Lemmy code for free
Reddit Refugees: “WHY IS THIS SO BUGGY?”
We’re probably hitting close to the all-time high of unread notifications on github… I’m at 1752 rn, only watching lemmy projects.
It does feel like I’ve become the personal issue tracker for a few thousand people all the sudden. 99% of ppl are nice, but there’s always someone demanding free labor to fix their pet issue, while offering to do none of the work themselves, and making ultimatums that they won’t use your software until it gets added.
It’s like okay then??? I’m not selling a product, so I don’t care. I’ve essentially set up a free cookie stand and they’re complaining at me that I don’t have rainbow sprinkles.
First off, thank you for working on improving lemmy, it is greatly appreciated. How does one go about helping work on lemmy? I’m a software engineer myself, and I’m looking to provide help during down of my free time. I’m not the most familiar in Rust, but it’s on my summer bucket list
How come I can’t install Lemmy on my grill and have it cook me hotdogs?
It doesn’t even integrate with my smart kettle, what are they even spending their time on, silly things like stability and bugfixes?
It works on my smart fridge but it’s running slow. What are they doing smh my head.
I tried that but the app froze
Lemmy devs are being paid to develop Lemmy, they literally admit to it.
You mean like donations? Or something else?
Tell them they can open a PR if they want.
If they are asking for examples then they don’t know how to use it yet
Can someone please mirror this meme vertically so that bottom text reads first
I got you
I thought that in such case I acomplished success as open source developer: someone actually like my software enough to use it
Literally anytime I send my dad (retired IT) a script I’ve been working on and he sends it back with the equivalent to red pen corrections on a paper / telling me all the various avenues of exception handling I need to add
I was pretty excited to see what some people made with a library I maintain.
