    It is lower from where it was in june (48.472) and the data seem to indicate a negative trajectory , also lemmy donations seem to be the lowest i remember them to be.

    So i would not get too confident, the project IMO needs to focus on highly requested killer features. My impression they focusing too much on technical issues that don’t seem to be really important in a way that reminds me of the infamous The CADT Model rant of Jamie Zawinski. Do we really need to do a UI rewrite?

        TF2 community greatly values efforts of The Janitor - sole full-time developer, fixing old bugs in TF2.

        there’s tremendous value in repairing and upgrading existing things.

        Value created doesn’t translate to value extracted and VCs and managers and marketers and the general public fork over more money in exchange for new shiny than old, reliable, maintained. There are few exceptions.

      I was so confused when I heard about lemmy-ui-leptos, it really sounds like a waste of time to me 🤷‍♂️

      I’m sure everyone has a different opinion, but I think the most important new feature should be the plugin system. It seems like the only way to scale up the number of contributors and support a variety of languages.

      I’m out of the loop, what are the highly requested features?

        probably the best (or least worst) indication of that is sorting issues by “thumbs up” on github, see lemmy and lemmy-ui. I think having a survey among donors (like godot had on patreon) is a better indicator.

        I suppose for me more compact posts and in community search.
