On the frontend, it's primarily React and Bootstrap. I do have some experience with React (with TypeScript), so that's good! And Bootstrap, that has been a few years....
Hahah.... Shit, now you got me intrigued... xD
Yesterday I was annoyed at wide code blocks being wrapped, instead of having a horizontal scrollbar, so I took 20 minutes of googling and hacking around with my minimal css skills and wrote a PR, it’s already merged and will probably show up on instances soon.
Very nice!! Congratulations!
Maybe you know more about web or android development, then you could look into contributing to the lemmy-ui or jerboa.
Yes that's definitely one the things I am leaning towards. On my main "gripes" with Lemmy right now, is the lack of keyboard shortcuts (think of stuff like, CRTL+enter to send a reply for example). So I wanna see if I can add that in the frontend repository.
One of the first things I did when I learned about Lemmy and joined an instance is see if I could contribute in some way, shape or form.
But unfortunately it's written in Rust, a language in which I have 0 experience and 0 knowledge. :(
I just checked, the admin have a little "admin" text next to their username and moderators in a community have the text "mod" next to their username.
I can't currently check, but don't admins already have a shield icon next to their username?
Edit: typo
Oh definitely that the next couple of weeks will be spent preparing for a new wave. I wouldn't be surprised if that was the reason why Lemmy.ml was down. Yes I know that it was because of a server migration but, that server migration also didn't happen for no reason ;-)
The first migration wave to Mastodon was very bad. I still remember, that following a person was nearly impossible. Not to mention the fact that, even if you could follow someone, it didn't automatically meant their messages ended up in your feed.
I know for example that version 0.17.4 of Lemmy (that was released 2 days ago) already has some database optimizations.
Awesome! Thank you 🙏
That's definitely sad :(
I found the subreddit on which it happened. It was /r/AdviceAnimals. Apprently /u/LegWeed got ejected. But apparently there is some SubReddit drama from that.

From what a quick Google search / Wikipedia hunt showed me is that most of the EU (with the exception of Russia and Finland) are already running on "standard-gauge railway" for their high-speed rail

Oh damn! That's nice! But that means I have to find another thing to do :P
