Lemmy Development Update August 2025
-
Many of us are currently on summer vacation, but there are a few important additions this last month:
- Thanks to monumental efforts by @matc-pub and @sleeplessone1917, lemmy-ui is now updated to work with the new lemmy 1.0 API, and all that's needed is to support the new features, and work out a few more bugs. Special thanks to both of them for their work.
- MV-GH added video support to jerboa, and has been doing a lot of bug-fixes there.
- @dullbananas has a PR which optimizes some migrations significantly and reduces DB size, which will likely be merged after some code reviews soon.
- We added 1.0 milestones for both lemmy-ui and jerboa, to make sure every new feature gets added to the front ends.

An open source project the size of Lemmy needs constant work to manage the project, implement new features and fix bugs. Dessalines and Nutomic work full-time on these tasks and more. As there is no advertising or tracking, all of our work is funded through donations. Even so there is barely enough time in the day, and no time for a second job. The only available option are user donations. To keep it viable donations need to reach a minimum of 5000€ per month, resulting in a modest salary of 2500€ per developer. If that goal is reached we can stop worrying about money, and fully focus on improving the software for the benefit of all users and instances. We especially rely on recurring donations to secure the long-term development and make Lemmy the best it can be.

v1 excites me! As someone who has been using Lemmy since v0.17.0, I must say that Lemmy has improved tremendously.

By the way you can now try the development version of 1.0 on voyager.lemmy.ml.

I have setup a small recuring donation. Remember everyone if your not sure about donating, donating a very small amount is infinitely times more valuable than not donating at all.
