Lemmy is CEO-proof. After Digg, Reddit and Twitter, that term should be a thing (yiffit.net)

From a developer role, Lemmy is going to need to figure out a way to scale up development.

No they don't. The platform is open source, so the more users they have, the more of those users will become contributors.

    Yes they do. This is why some FOSS goes to places like Apache, why there's a Python foundation, Spark has Databricks, Kafka Confluent and Trino Starburst.

    The good thing about open source is that it allows everyone to contribute code to the base. The bad thing about open source is thay it allows everyone to contribute code to the base.

    You need repo maintainers, developers that are constant contributor, code reviewers, people maintaining CI CD Pipelines, etc etc.

    Yes it's less than having proprietary, but it's nowhere near "0".

    But how is the organization going to handle and review all this additional code? You can't just trust someone coded something correctly without reviewing the code.
