Hey, I am just wondering where the conversation happens for Lemmy development, I would assume its on lemmy somewhere but I can't find it. Is there a /c/lemmydev or /c/meta ?
It seems to exist for me. I didn't try to join but it seems to exist:
Interestingly it seems to be a room about ActivityPub not Lemmy. I'd probably join that room and then ask there. The lead devs are definitely active on Matrix so that's where I'd head if I wanted to contribute.
Lemmy.ml is the instance run by the developers. Pretty sure there are some discussions there.
Other than that, GitHub issues. I'm surprised they haven't enabled GitHub discussions.
For new people, please note that lemmy.ml is also a marxist-leninist instance (hence the "ml") and tends to be the home of some more abrasive users of lemmy. Unless you're into that philosophy I'd reccomend only using it for dev discussion and info on the main Lemmy "project".
Otherwise you're liable to get shit on for uttering more "mainstream leftist" views because their userbase doesn't think you're left enough. That makes it sound worse than it is, but there are some users who have given up on Lemmy because of dogpiling by ml users.
Ok. I was hoping to talk to them about contributing some specific features to help fight against bots and include some privacy tech, but I don't have the mental bandwidth for drama.
