I personally wouldn’t be against migrating our issue tracker off github in the future, especially once the federated alternatives become more mature. The other code contributers would also need to agree though.
We also have the code mirrored in several places off github.
In the matrix dev chats, but we could also post them elsewhere.
Absolutely, lemmy could use so much more dev help.
Thanks! Yep its been a lot of years of work to get it to this level, but it still astonishes me that a handful of ppl can best reddit / twitter when we put our minds to it.
We always put out calls before (major) releases, but very few ppl actually help test. This means a lot of bugs only get spotted when more eyes see them in production.
All of these issues are solved in the corporate world by paying quality assurance / testing teams, but open source projects don’t have those resources.
Yep, instance admins and mods need your support also. It takes a lot of work to keep an instance free of trolls, and its a thankless job.
If I didn’t respond to anyone below, thank you. It means a lot, and makes the years of work I’ve spent on lemmy feel worthwhile and important.
Graphtreon says their API is $760 / month.
Patreon isn’t going to do anything for us specifically. They have a proper auth API, its just a lot of work to get plugged into it, when we only need a few data points.
Go to your profile page to see what communities you moderate. It also shows in jerboa.
Massive differences and breaking changes between the two versions. We’ve been having to backport fixes for months now.
Good to hear.
Right now it will randomly pop up once a year, different for every user.
so far no change on the reported donations when comparing to previous reporting which is actually down.
We had this automated, but patreon blocked our IP, so I’ll update it manually rn, and try to do that at least once a month.
The donation popup has an API to mark that its been seen for your user, as well as a last_donation_notification date that comes back as part of MyUser. This is tied to your user so it can sync across all apps.
They do, but also donations are still entirely optional. We’re a soup kitchen providing a free meal; if people don’t want to eat the soup, or eat it but don’t want to (or aren’t able) to support the kitchen, that’s not a problem.
