So in the spirit of this community and not just to focus on the Reddit... issues... I thought it might be nice to get a topical conversation going in here.

Basically, what open source projects are you currently working on or are you heavily involved with?

I think it would be nice to see what projects people have on the go, get some publicity out there and otherwise talk about stuff that we should be discussing here.

I tend to get incredibly crippling imposter syndrome (which as far as I understand is very common!) which has stopped me from really contributing in fear of just "making something worse". That, and a lot of health issues recently has not helped that either...

However, I have been trying to get my toes wet again by making some small contributions to Jerboa though. I am hoping to learn more about Jetpack Compose so that I can contribute even more!

I'd also love to contribute to the backend for Lemmy, but my knowledge of Rust is very very small so that is quite daunting. My strongest knowledge is in Java, but I have been wanting to get a better grip on Rust as well... ๐Ÿค”
