    I really appreciate this insight. I know there’s a lot I don’t know. Do you have any specific advice on how I can help? I’m not really a software developer, but I know Python. Is there any way I can volunteer or donate to help make these features come to fruition?

      The Lemmy backend is written in Rust and I’m not aware of any Python components (though I’m no expert), you could possibly look at making (or helping with an existing) 3rd party tool. The Lemmy Matrix space has a chat for mod tools, you could try asking in there.

      In terms of donating, every Lemmy instance has a little heart at the top that links to a donation page that goes to Lemmy devs. This is different to donating to your instance (which goes towards hosting costs), donating to Lemmy devs goes towards development of the Lemmy software. The Lemmy donating link leads to https://join-lemmy.org/donate
