[β] flashgnash@lemm.ee 11 points 3 years ago (2 children) I've never contributed to open source projects before, is it open to community contributions? (as in could I go pick up a feature request and make a pull request for it?) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [β] fangleone2526@lemmy.fmhy.ml 8 points 3 years ago (1 child) Yes! The devs would have to accept your pull request for it to be merged into the main instance, but even if they donβt, you donβt have to use the main instance, you can spin up your own which you build out whatever features you want on. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] lightingnerd@lemmy.world 3 points 3 years ago (1 child) I love this thing that people forget about open source. Like the whole FreeCAD community, there's a whole group of people who don't even use the vanilla UI--because they don't have to, haha! Of course, it does take skill, but if you're skilled enough to make pull request... permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] Bonolio@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago I am a shitty programmer, and I would never want most of what I do to go anywhere near Main. But as you said, I have a few things that I run as forks, with my own little tweaks. permalink fedilink source parent [β] maiskanzler@feddit.de 8 points 3 years ago Yes! Many people are joining right now, you can too. Pick Lemmy itself or one of the apps! There is also Tafkars, they are trying to replicate the reddit api for Lemmy. The goal is to make 3rd party reddit apps compatible with lemmy. permalink fedilink source parent
