Lemmy's maintainers seem overworked. As is the case with so much of software dev, (open source or otherwise!) non-programmers are unaware of or underestimate maintenance burden. From the outside, it looks like it's just about "adding a feature". But in reality, it's less about "adding" and more about "growing". Feature requests generally need to be evaluated with this in mind; whether future development is sustainable with some new feature(s).

I see opportunities here for some software dealing with either ActivityPub directly or with Lemmy's HTTP API.

Anyone used lemmy-modder? Thoughts?
