Insomniac code gorilla. I help maintain lemmy-ui and, to a lesser extent, Lemmy’s backend.
We’re waiting for Forgejo to support federation. We definitely want to move away from github, but we want to wait until we’re in a position for that move to be permanent while still making it easy for contributors to open issues and PRs.
It got stalled for awhile due to butting heads with a contributor who wanted to take the app in a direction that me and dessalines fundamentally disagreed with. At several points we overwrote each others’ changes in PRs. After having a PR that got held up for months due to these arguments, dessalines and I decided to keep moving forward without waiting for his input. After spending some time setting up an end to end testing framework, I’m now moving at a noticeably faster pace. Compare the difference in time between the PR being opened and it being merged from the argument filled PR listed earlier and the most recent feature PR.
