Thank you for the response but out of curiousity how much would it cost to get lemmy.world its own servers and be also a hosting site. Kind of like imgur was born out of reddit and that turned into a huge platform. How can someone do the same for us?
We are hosting Lemmy on our own servers, it costs us ( including all other services like mastodon.world etc.... ) 1.5kโฌ ( it is outdated but it should be in that range, ca. Dec. 2023 ) https://blog.mastodon.world/
But like said it would increase the costs a lot.
Ok read that. But as a non admin or even a programmer can I learn and this may not be the right word to code so I can help out lemmy more? Or do I need to go to inbox after inbox asking for donations? again no sarcasm.
Without programming knowledge you can not do that. We are not the creators of lemmy.
Here is all the code that is connected to lemmy: https://github.com/LemmyNet
ok now besides looking at all the lemmies what code can I learn to better support you guys and gals?
You could learn Rust or Typescript ( React ). And then you can contribute to the respective github repositories like the API ( https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy ) and contribute there.
It will take some months to learn correctly and then the Lemmy devs need to approve your changed code.
Cool...don;t know if I have months because it depends on the next Hospital I am at. ...But are there any links you can do for Typescript and React so I can study in my spare time.?
