Is it difficult to build a web app for Lemmy? in c/nostupidquestions

[–] whaleross 14 points 6 months ago

I haven't looked at the Lemmy API, but generally speaking hard or not is subjective. Try it, get your hands dirty. Take a stab at testing how it works. Set some very basic targets. Split it up into tasks. If one task proves more complicated than expected, split it up into smaller tasks. If you get stuck, move to another task. You can always get back to those later. Things fall in place with experience.

Maybe the great filter is crabs dragging others down to their level.
