Frustration with Lemmy Devs' Lack of User Feedback Consideration
cross-posted from: https://discuss.online/post/5768097
Greetings Lemmy community,
I wanted to express my frustration with the Lemmy developers for consistently closing my reported issues as "not planned" without involving the community in the decision-making process. It appears that the devs prioritize their own interests, such as developing Android thumb keyboard apps ([email protected]), over listening to user feedback and addressing community priorities.
Given this approach, I have decided that I will not be contributing to this project in any capacity. It is disheartening to see a lack of consideration for user input and a focus on personal projects rather than community needs.
For reference, you can view the list of my reported issues on GitHub for Lemmy here:
Fortunately, there are still opportunities for me to contribute to projects like SubLinks and PieFed, where developers are more open to community input compared to the Lemmy platform.
Thank you for your attention, but I regret to say that I will not be engaging further with this project due to the lack of user-centric development practices.
You're viewing a single thread.
The project is missing developers, if you want to then implement them yourself , or fund raise the money using a bounty platform like polar, some of the ideas are fairly controversial and linus law of trail and error apply here, with that said i think lemmy could benefit from a add on system like those wordpress and discourse have and those ideas can be checked out.
Personally i had them accept some of my feedback before (e.g. i am the one who requested the ability to block an instance which got implemented despite one of the developers were against it and the other suggested i should switch instances).
Just try to be prudent and persuasive .
