    Is there a public roadmap of some sort?

    Maybe a blog post like “a year in review and what’s up for this year”

    I’m not talkung about bugs or minor tweaks. Just a general where are we, where are we coming from and where are we going to? What are important milestones?

      I think a lemmy roadmap for the next year is hard, because scope and even individual features depend on funding (for example, nlnet funds specific features).

      Maybe something like Mastodon’s roadmap would be possible though (with no specific timeline)? https://joinmastodon.org/roadmap

        I wouldn’t put a timeline to it. Just a list of features, broad and specific. As time goes on, they can be marked as “in progress” or “included”. New things can be added over time, or made more specific. All without timetables. For now call it a wishlist.

      I’ve just updated the post body with some updates about this, but if we get approved for another year of funding from NLNet, the the two new devs will be working on these milestones in 2024 (still a draft at this point).

      Being an open source project, we can afford to be less strict about a roadmap, as anyone (including ourselves) can take on any of the open issues on the issue tracker. Part of the fun of these is getting to pick which things you’d like to work on, and that you personally think are important.

      Outside of maintenance-related tasks and merging PRs (which does take a significant chunk of our time) of course @nutomic@lemmy.ml and I both have things we’d like to prioritize this year. My main priorities are:

      • Getting Jerboa as fully functional as lemmy-ui.
      • Notifications (Unified push).
      • Working on lemmy-ui-leptos, our proposed replacement web UI for lemmy-ui written in Rust.
      • Performance improvements (DB, federation code)
      • Stabilizing the API
      • Becoming fully funded by donations, and growing our dev co-op.
