Lemmy Development Update August 2025

9mon 18d ago by lemmy.ml/u/nutomic in announcements@lemmy.ml

Many of us are currently on summer vacation, but there are a few important additions this last month:

v1 excites me! As someone who has been using Lemmy since v0.17.0, I must say that Lemmy has improved tremendously.

By the way you can now try the development version of 1.0 on voyager.lemmy.ml.

your all doing amazing work, its great to see whats cooking

The video support on jerboa has been great! Thank you!

are there any simple/low-hanging-fruit that i can use to get my feet wet w rust?

We could def use the help. There's probably a good amount of issues outside of help wanted, that wouldn't be too difficult. Feel free to comment in any of them and we could help you get started.

The new front end lemmy-ui-leptos is also in rust.

is this the right list? https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues

i'm seeing 110; how do you recommend i prioritize the list?

Yep. Not sure, just something that seems like it'd be easier or limited in scope.

I think that you can start solving exercises on HackerRank or Exercism

i already know python, ruby, java & c++ and i want to pick this up to both learn rust and give back to lemmy.

The official rust book is great if you already know how to program in another language: https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/

You should get your feet wet with Github, first; then you can browse the relevant good first issues for the backend.

🤦‍♂️

it somehow never occured to me that the fixable issues where on github; thank you.

Thanks for all the hard work!

Sent something your way! 😊

Thanks!

You guys are fantastic! I hope you are enjoying or did enjoy your vacation. Thank you for your hard work!

Thank you team!

Good stuff! Thank you all 🙏🏻

I have setup a small recuring donation. Remember everyone if your not sure about donating, donating a very small amount is infinitely times more valuable than not donating at all.

Thank you :)
