i wanna be a frog :(

Omg it’s like you ran out of ink printing them. They’re adorable.

Happy to hear :) truly, thank you for wanting to get involved. My corporate trauma is speaking

Mind you I’m happy that they seem driven to contribute and want to know more about the process and how to potentially help. It’s really just the vibe of the post that’s off putting.

For contributing to the project, you can always submit issues to discuss next steps or possible ideas and implementation. It’s not just “here’s code please merge”. Being a contributor to an open source project also involves participating in discussions about the future of the project which you can usually do through mailing lists or issues for most projects.

For Lemmy specifically there is already a process for feature requests and discussions here

Not to sound rude or anything - but I’m getting big corporate vibes from this post which really isn’t what Lemmy is trying to be. If you want to offer that kind of support, look at getting involved with individual instances. They are probably closer to a product than Lemmy is. The Lemmy project doesn’t need that kind of corporate structure to it. It’s not a charitable organization or Reddit 2.0.

Furthermore Lemmy users are not customers nor is Lemmy a product and it worries me that you would want to see it in this lens.
