I'm still digesting a lot of this, but the main ones for me are:
Third party apps
ppl love them and are outraged by reddit shutting them down. So lemmy needs to continue to prioritize requests from app devs, and think of ways we can make our API better
Communication
Reddit's scummy treatment of mods and app devs is becoming transparent. In a way that's unavoidable because reddit is a for-profit company that by nature must prioritize profits over its userbase. We as open-source devs have different incentive structures, and the more fully we become funded by donations, the more we're accountable to what users want.
So we need to keep doing our bi-weekly dev updates, and stay accountable to devs, mods, and users.
