There's two "full time" Lemmy developers, and one of them just added a repeating dialog box that will pop up regardless of instance asking for money to be sent to his and another lemmy.ml admin's personal accounts as a salary.

black0ut@pawb.social is right, you have no idea what you're talking about.

Open-source software development can be very slow sometimes. It's not about speed, it's about expertise. Like I said previously, they likely hold a day job besides developing Lemmy.

I've been in the open-source scene for about a decade, it takes a LOT of developers or a corporate sponsor to do any work long-time. Products live and die because volunteers run out of time and / or interest.

Again, I invite you to fork Lemmy yourself and maintain it faster than the original devs could. Put your money where your mouth is.
