Do you know if he has a liberapay.com ? I'd rather that than Patreon

Not a plugin but I love the raycast extension to append to my daily notes!

You add a browser extension that lets you write code that runs on any page you want. This video should be a decent explainer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DmQ_V9ZRlk

This might be a easy first issue to try: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/707
Probably not really coding but would get you familiar with how the system works :)

Are you a rust dev? The backend is all rust and I think there are many pretty easy open issues to checkout.
One thing (not sure if there is an issue right now) that is a problem on the backend is that it doesn't send a response if you put the wrong username+password so the frontend just stays loading forever. However, maybe this will be fixed automatically when they stop using websocks (soon)

Maybe you could make your changes as a userscript first and let people play around with it? I'd def test it out :)
Fun fact: there used to be many more lemmy themes that were pretty cool but they got ripped out as too hard to maintain a while ago.

userscripts are great for proof of concept to show off and let people test it. However, can userscripts work across so many domains that lemmy instances are on? Maybe a list of domains has to be maintained in the userscript?
Any particular things you thought you might fix with userscripts?

That's pretty nice! I think that the theme could def use a little love. I think the devs said at one point that they want to make it so any bootstrap theme could be imported but for now it's just the two themes.
Are you a designer?
Curious if anyone is working on the codebase for Lemmy. I'm sure we all see a few places where it could use some love. The main repos are: - https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy - https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui Personally, I've been working on a few small things for docs. PS: Here's a pretty easy ticket to jump on if you want to get started :) https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1214 There is also a dev chat in their Matrix space: https://matrix.to/#/#lemmy-space:matrix.org

It is very mathy but here's the algo they use to rank content: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/contributors/07-ranking-algo.html
Might explain a bit of why things are at certain places for a time.

Yup, exactly this. The lemmy devs are working hard to improve the app to handle all the new users but for now things will be a bit slow :)
