It looks like Lemmy is also attracting developers on GitHub.
This is good, the massive expansion of users over the past few days is really testing the project at every level: the more eyes on the core software the better for everyone.
Lots of things that weren't a priority or even thought about a month ago are now going to be pressing issues, and I think it's comforting that most of the new contributers will also be active Lemmy users as well
Oh wow, that's a steep rise in stars. Good to see many other developers are also checking out the source code. I personally did pull both the lemmy and lemmy-ui repo, but didn't give them a star yet. Hopefully I can soon contribute something to the project.
I will probably contribute at some point also. I just need to get up to speed on Rust, ActivityPub, and the Lemmy codebase first. Lots to learn.
CEOs see in Lemmy an anomaly, a curiosity. We, the lemmings see the future.

I've been on holiday for basically the whole of this transfer so I'm itching to get back and pull this code base and get it running locally. Very keen to try and help where I can with the server, web front end and android app too!
Nice, I added my star too now.
