Here is our regular update that explains what we have been working on for the past two weeks. This should allow average users to keep up with development, without reading Github comments or knowing how to program.

We should also have a bugfix release for a few issues with the last release, and have 0.19.8 sometime soon.

Support development

@dessalines and @nutomic are working full-time on Lemmy to integrate community contributions, fix bugs, optimize performance and much more. This work is funded exclusively through donations.

If you like using Lemmy, and want to make sure that we will always be available to work full time building it, consider donating to support its development. Recurring donations are ideal because they allow for long-term planning. But also one-time donations of any amount help us.

    No probs! We have an issue to discuss more funding options, because it definitely is a problem. Only 2 full-time devs is not enough to handle this project and all its requests, and we need to grow our lemmy dev coop to keep up. Minimum I’d say we’d need 4 full-time devs in different areas just to keep up with issues.

    I’m definitely open to adding those annoying wikipedia-style notifications inside lemmy-ui to hit a fundraising goal, because they do work. There are other possibilities too.
