This is good, the massive expansion of users over the past few days is really testing the project at every level: the more eyes on the core software the better for everyone.

Lots of things that weren’t a priority or even thought about a month ago are now going to be pressing issues, and I think it’s comforting that most of the new contributers will also be active Lemmy users as well

CEOs see in Lemmy an anomaly, a curiosity. We, the lemmings see the future.

Oh wow, that’s a steep rise in stars. Good to see many other developers are also checking out the source code. I personally did pull both the lemmy and lemmy-ui repo, but didn’t give them a star yet. Hopefully I can soon contribute something to the project.
