I made a blog post discussing my biggest issues with Lemmy and why I am kind of done with it as a software.
It is absolutely impossible for 2-4 devs to please everyone in a codebase used by >40k people. If you ran a codebase used by this many people, you’d understand our pain. You cannot make everyone happy.
Check out our github profiles if you think we aren’t doing work. This is easily verifiable.
How can you think that this tiny group of people, fielding the requests of thousands, is entitled? We’re simply requesting that people do the open source thing, and contribute a PR, when we don’t have time to work on an issue. Would you like it if I made you change your priorities and work on what I wanted you to work on?

No we arent getting paid, there is no employment contract with anyone. We are working on Lemmy in our own time, and receiving donations from some users. It may seem like a minor difference but its important, because donations dont include any obligation to give something specific in return, or prioritize specific tasks.
You’re not, paid, for, your efforts? Seems to be a misleading statement.
