Last month there was not much activity, as we both took holidays. As of September we're back to work, and continue polishing 1.0 for release. We are also publishing a new beta version: 1.0.0-beta.2 with all the bug fixes from the past two months.

• https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/milestone/24
• https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/milestone/5
• https://github.com/LemmyNet/jerboa/milestone/1

We've also released another lemmy 1.0 beta: for those who would like to test.

Here are all the changes from August:

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.

Thanks!
