Hi everyone, welcome, ect... It might go without saying but lemmy is open source! The platform is written in rust and typescript (which is a big pro for me). I'm sure we all have our little gripes with the platform, and those are fixed with collective teamwork :)
These are "good first issues", here is a contributing guide), and here is a chat where developers coordinate.
Yes! The contributing guide mentions that there are plenty of other ways including design, translations, donations, and even just reporting issues you come across! Everything can be a huge help.
If i can find something i can help with i will do it, ok now i see, now i understand, because sometimes people have complaints and issues with the software but since lemmy is open source then it wil be easier to resolve these issues if people contribute to it
