Lemmy Development Update June 2026 and 1.0.0-beta.1

Last month we fixed a lot of the problems that were reported so far during 1.0 Beta Testing. These fixes are released in a new version 1.0.0-beta.1. Please continue testing on voyager.lemmy.ml and reporting problems.

Edit: Note the Lemmy backend version 1.0.0-beta.1 is still building, and will take about 12 hours to complete.

In the upcoming months, as app devs continue to give feedback on the Lemmy 1.0 API, we’ll be tweaking it as necessary. We’ll also be working on lemmy-ui and jerboa.

An open source project the size of Lemmy needs constant work to manage the project, implement new features and fix bugs. Dessalines and Nutomic work full-time on these tasks and more. As there is no advertising or tracking, all of our work is funded through donations. Even so there is barely enough time in the day, and no time for a second job. The only available option are user donations.

To keep it viable donations need to reach a minimum of 5000€ per month, resulting in a modest salary of 2500€ per developer. If that goal is reached we can stop worrying about money, and fully focus on improving the software for the benefit of all users and instances. We especially rely on recurring donations to secure the long-term development and make Lemmy the best it can be.
