      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?

    For anyone who isn’t a developer: contributing is not just code.

    Monetary donations help developers to continue their work, supporting them in their journey much as the brave Samwise supported Frodo. They ensure the continuity of the project, allow developers to dedicate more of their time to it, and help them acquire resources they may need.

    Yet not all of us are blessed with the wealth of the Lonely Mountain, and that is entirely acceptable. For in the land of FOSS, gold and silver are not the only treasures that matter. The donation of your time and skills can be as valuable as a chest full of gold.

    When you come across a bug, it can be reported, much as Pippin reported his sighting of the Nazgul to Gandalf. Yet remember, respect is key, as it was in all communications among the Fellowship. A bug report, properly done, is a gift to the community, a contribution to the common good. But it should be given with care, with thoroughness, and with the respect due to a fellow traveler on this digital road.

    Finally, consider the hobbits who remained in the Shire, who, though they did not journey far, spread tales of courage and bravery, keeping spirits high and ensuring the story was known. If you love a piece of FOSS, speak of it, share it, let others know. In the vast, interconnected realm of the Internet, word-of-mouth travels faster than Shadowfax.

    Every contribution, every bit of help, is more than welcome. It is cherished. It is celebrated. For in the realm of FOSS, as in Middle Earth, we are all on this journey together.

    Naturally, if you are gifted with the skills of a dwarf smith, able to delve into the deep code and fix bugs or add features, your contribution will be celebrated like Gimli’s axes in the Battle of Helm’s Deep. A good pull request is a bard’s song that echoes across the halls of digital Middle Earth, a melody that can inspire others and boost morale.

    I added a mark as read button to the posts but now patiently waiting till the WebSockets -> REST API transition is complete so it can get merged.

    The front end needs a lot of work… Every bit is appreciated and the maintainers are pretty fast at reviewing and providing feedback which is nice to see.

    I’m interested, but I don’t know Rust and haven’t done frontend work in years. Might be able to do some work around scalability and contribute to a Kubernetes deployment guide (and/or Helm chart).

      I honestly had a blast learning Rust. Haven’t gotten a chance to do much with the language but it definitely shifted the way I think about coding in general.

    I changed some stuff on the Lemmy-Ansible documentation for clarity, but I’m garbage at coding anything useful. Getting my head around rust or typescript is a real challenge from square zero.
