I’ll try to contribute to the backend! I’ve always found it daunting, because often the issues are taken up.
Are you a rust dev? The backend is all rust and I think there are many pretty easy open issues to checkout.
One thing (not sure if there is an issue right now) that is a problem on the backend is that it doesn't send a response if you put the wrong username+password so the frontend just stays loading forever. However, maybe this will be fixed automatically when they stop using websocks (soon)
I've mostly done low level work with it at school but I've been wanting to learn web dev with it :) Might pick up one of the easy issues!
This might be a easy first issue to try: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/707
Probably not really coding but would get you familiar with how the system works :)
