In terms of contributing directly, while I can hack together some terrible python code, I have never done any development in Rust, or on the scale of Lemmy.
I'll keep the Matrix chat and !learningrustandlemmy@lemmy.ml in mind though. Thanks, @maegul@lemmy.ml and @nutomic@nutomic@lemmy.ml for your thoughts and suggestions!
No worries!
If you’re interested in learning rust (I’ve certainly enjoyed) feel free to try to do so in the community. We’ve just about gone through the main course now, but I can very much see another round starting if people are interested.
The whole idea is to treat contributing as a group learning challenge rather than something onerous and hard.
Otherwise, if you’ve got sql/DB experience, that’s often just as relevant AFAICT (as is the case across the fediverse). I’d bet that if anyone sorts out a good query or schema someone else could integrate it into the code base.
