Hey, I’m the founder of Sublinks. It’s a huge collaboration of several major Lemmy instances like lemmy world, beehaw, discuss.online, programming.dev, and quite a few others that wish not to be named until the release.
Some admins are directly working on the project while others are providing other types of support. @Ategon is certainly a major contributor and has helped develop the new front end in many major ways. You can follow some progress updates here: !sublinks
We have several different teams of developers:
API / Java
Front-end / JS/CSS/HTML
Federation / GoLang
Libraries / JS
Requirements gathering and organization
Design & Graphics - UI/UX
Lemmy to Sublinks migration tools
There is an active community on Matrix where all of us chat: matrix.to/#/#sublinks:discuss.online if anyone is interested in joining. We also have weekly touch bases to discuss progress and next steps. There are tons of people contributing.
We are currently taking donations only through Github: github.com/sponsors/sublinks if you’re truly interested. We’re all working on this part-time in our free time and making fantastic progress.
