What has been the most rewarding part of working on Lemmy for you guys?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

As a software dev, mainly that people enjoy using it.

99% of the proprietary software work I did for companies was work that was societally useless, and eventually thrown in the trash. Here I get to make software that improves peoples lives in a tiny way, and is a form of social media that hopefully 🤞 doesn't destroy people's mental well-being: is easy to put down, and enjoyable to use.

The fact that there is no boss telling me what to work on. Instead I get to decide myself whats most important. Last year before the Reddit migration I was temporarily working for a company, and it was extremely demotivating to be told how to do every little thing as if I were a junior developer.
