    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

      No probs! The best way to get started (after you’ve learned some rust), would be to find a smaller issue or feature you’d like, and then comment on that issue, or in our dev matrix chat, if you need any help. We appreciate any help we can get on improving the code.

        Thank you! I’m already familiar with REST apis, since that’s what I work on normally, so hopefully the learning experience will be smooth. Where can I find the dev matrix chat?

          Even if you’re unfamiliar with rust, you can still help with open source lemmy front-ends/apps that aren’t written in rust
