  1. The best way is to look at the open PRs on each repo, to see the things that are being worked on / fixed.
  2. We have an open issue for community collections, but its not being worked on currently. We have cross_posts come back through the GetPost endpoint, to see where else specific posts have been posted to.

The fragmentation issues I've addressed here.

Alright thanks for the answers! I've looked through them, and maybe I was looking for more of what you thought personally of what major features you had in mind. Rather, it sounds like (but don't let me put words in your month) you're more focused on just keeping the overall work together and stable. I can respect that.

As far as some longer-term goals, I posted this elsewhere, but some are:

  • Performance improvements (DB, federation code)
  • Creating a better onboarding site (joinlemmy)
  • Stabilizing the API
  • Becoming fully funded by donations, and growing our dev co-op.
  • Lots of code maintenance
  • Notifications (Unified push)
  • Better sorting to push content from smaller communities (a best sort)
  • A better web UI written in rust (lemmy-ui-leptos)
