I can say I was there when Lemmy 1.0 released!
A lot of these should not be called breaking changes. A new API is not a breaking change if the old API remains.
Yeah but those changes break clients as soon as they turn down the old API.
Indeed, dropping the old API would be the breaking change.
Rich Hickey did a fantastic talk on versioning, breaking changes, and dependencies.
Will the new lemmy ui be ready for 1.0?
Can’t give an ETA yet. I’ve got a few more back-end things to finish up, then @sleeplessone1917 and I will work on lemmy-ui.
Then I also gotta work on getting jerboa updated also. So much work and so few developers.
Yes we always release backend and frontend versions together.
just passing by to congratulate you guys on the milestone!
Really excited for these changes; scheduled posts, donations, SSO, let’s goo
1.0 would be the perfect time to have the code, bug tracker, etc. migrated off of Microsoft GitHub
Would lose a lot of visibility. Gotta pick your battles
Visibility to who? Normies? Search engines favoring corpo slop? You could make a readonly mirror if felt it necessary (it isn’t). If you have a modus operandi for you product or service, you would be better off choosing tools that align with those ideals. This instead says collaborator privacy/freedom is not our priority & we don’t actually follow our values.
I ran a large open source project, and when we switched to Gitlab the number of contributors dropped like a rock. Despite linking to our Gitlab repo everywhere, people weren’t finding it on Google or GitHub search, and those who did weren’t interested in creating a second account.
We went from probably getting a new contributor every month to maybe getting a couple a year. It significantly slowed down progress.
