Hi all. Very happy to see Lemmy’s success so far. I’m interested in contributing to Lemmy’s growth.

At this stage, the engineering team should consider bringing some additional public-facing structure, such as:

1. Published roadmap
2. Performance metrics and reporting
3. Community outreach - keeping user base in the loop on roadmap, launches, metrics, growing pains 

Lemmy will continue to grow regardless, however bringing some structure will onboard new users faster and add trust to Lemmy’s image. Trust factor is important - Reddit refugees are evaluating alternatives to Reddit, and are ultimately choosing off relatively little information.

What is the best way to get involved in new initiatives for Lemmy? I have experience with this type of work (engineering manager at a large tech company), focused on building teams, product roadmaps, and continually improving customer experiences through engineering.

    That would be true for metrics/performance reporting, yes. It would make sense to build something that was opt-in for instance owners to submit data.

    Regardless of the mechanism – there will need to be some way to evaluate the performance impacts of changes that are continually being rolled out.

    Thanks :)
