Let’s goo!!
God I wish I had gone into development instead of operations. It would be cool as hell to just decide to devote time to helping whatever software you like be better.
Old dogs can learn new tricks. Picking up programming has never been easier. Everyone wants to act like ChatGPT is going to replace programmers, but in reality it is a great tool to walk you through projects and explain the how and why.
Also a bustling ecosystem of 3rd party apps.
I’ve learned iOS dev + Swift just to contribute to one that I love and enjoy using.
Reminds me of another website a long time ago that succeeded due to a lively and active 3rd party development scene. I wonder whatever happened to them?
Hubris?
Good to see.
What’s a good way to start?
Should I create a branch, work on an issue, make a pull request once done?
How can I test if I don’t host an instance?
Do other devs appreciate if I communicate first (to avoid simultaneous work on same issues), or do they rather appreciate autonomous contributions?
Where do I go to get involved?
I would like to contribute but I don’t know a lot so I will cheer you on

I’m not a developer, just a user who reports bugs which you can do as well: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues
Wow thanks I will do my part
I’d love to contribute with fresh, compact code but I lack the braincells for that.
Then write bug reports: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues
