look
the development of mastodon needs to be a more organized effort than it is currently
while the features being added are good, there's some that are asked for repeatedly and there just needs to be like 1 or 2 people
sitting and listening and trying to work on the issues that are asked for and only those issues
@boots are you willing to pay for that? I'm not sure you understand how open source software works...
@boots As a FOSS maintainer I think that's the approach most likely to pay off.
@boots One approach to this if you're not willing / able to work on it yourself, would be to help prep it for someone who can. Make sure everything is well documented, make sure "new contributor" documentation and guidelines are in place, draft up requirements and implementation suggestions and a clean milestone for the features you want to see, and then actively search, letting people know you're looking for a developer to contribute specifically for that feature.
