Greetings c/lemmy_support community,

I wanted to express my frustration with the Lemmy developers for consistently closing my reported issues as “not planned” without involving the community in the decision-making process. It appears that the devs prioritize their own interests, such as developing Android thumb keyboard apps, over listening to user feedback and addressing community priorities.

Given this approach, I have decided that I will not be contributing to this project in any capacity. It is disheartening to see a lack of consideration for user input and a focus on personal projects rather than community needs.

For reference, you can view the list of my reported issues on GitHub for Lemmy here:

  • Lemmy Backend Issues: Link
  • Lemmy UI Issues: Link

Thank you for your attention, but I regret to say that I will not be engaging further with this project due to the lack of user-centric development practices.

    I don’t really mind whether or not the issues I suggested are implemented, but it frustrates me when they close the issues without listening to the input from the community.

      Isn’t assessing the issue on the issue tracker “listening to input” though?

      Your options are

      • do it yourself and create a pull request
      • make a suggestion to the devs on the issue tracker, who have every right to reject it
      • start a discussion here if you believe a feature is important enough to have public debate

      That seems like a lot of options for listening to input to me.

      What exactly is missing that you want to see? How could you add what you see is missing?
