Last month saw more cleanup and bug fixes for the development version. We also setup nightly builds which are automatically deployed to voyager.lemmy.ml, as detailled in the 0.19.15 announcement post.

This upcoming month we'll be working on the existing lemmy-ui 1.0 milestone and lemmy 1.0 milestone issues. Our work should be reflected nightly on voyager.lemmy.ml, so we'd much appreciate anyone helping to find bugs and issues

Here are the major changes from December:

• Enable source maps for lemmy-ui to simplify debugging

• Refactor and simplify cursor pagination logic

• Let admins ban deleted accounts

An open source project the size of Lemmy needs constant work to manage the project, implement new features and fix bugs. Dessalines and Nutomic work full-time on these tasks and more. As there is no advertising or tracking, all of our work is funded through donations. Even so there is barely enough time in the day, and no time for a second job. The only available option are user donations.

To keep it viable donations need to reach a minimum of 5000€ per month, resulting in a modest salary of 2500€ per developer. If that goal is reached we can stop worrying about money, and fully focus on improving the software for the benefit of all users and instances. We especially rely on recurring donations to secure the long-term development and make Lemmy the best it can be.
