Judging by the state of his apps, could he pay someone to mentor him while he learns the basics of app development? I’m not saying it’s easy but he seems intent on learning as he goes on his closed source project which due to the buggy state of it, makes the rest of the fediverse look like a bunch amateur software developer hacks to the influx of millions of new users.

It makes the fediverse look about as bad as Lemmy did when the Reddit apicalypse happened.

I think we mostly need to communicate the state of things well and frequently to keep users aware this is super alpha preview software and that the the technology is sound but just needs time to mature properly. It's the cost of freedom: patience. As long as the fixes and improvements keeps coming, buggy shouldn't be that much of a problem.

At least it mostly worked!

yea but it definitely pushed a lot of people away, if we had Lemmy v0.19.8 back then we would've retained way more users

just not the luckiest timing maybe, could've been a lot worse though (like before Lemmy even supported federation)

Indeed, but "unfortunately" corporate social media keep messing things up, so people have more opportunities to come back check how things are

ikr Lemmy had and still has some weirdnesses but frankly so do the corporate platforms.
